Dog Mountain in the Summer

This looks different with no snow.
















Mount Hood.














The Columbia.
















Mt. St. Helens.















Finally back down the hill.

Ape Canyon, Washington

This is where Bigfoot lives.






Mt. St. Helens in the clouds.












The old flow.




Crevis, looking North.





Ape Canyon, the snow melt started a water fall.

The start of a creek.

Badger Creek Wilderness

Great recovering forrest. The creeks are loaded with trout, we caught several and had them the same night. Rowan almost jumped onto a rattlesnake. Deer walked by our camp, followed by a large black bear. This is a great spot. A four day weekend, and we didn't see anyone else in the forrest. Now we are really backpacking.

Snake!














Our camp on a small saddle. the creek ran around this spur so it was on both sides of us.

















Weird ground cover.

Started with flint and steel and old mans beard.

Memorial Day Weekend, Mill Creek Wilderness
