Benson Plateau Backpacking: Day 1

One might wonder why anyone would go to the Benson Plateau. First reason, I need to fill in a tiny section of the Pacific Crest Trail to have the Columbia River to Timothy Lake completed. Second, I’ve not been up here since my very first backpacking trip 20+ years ago. Fall has arrived. Tomorrow the weather should improve so I will explore some mountains.

Benson Plateau Backpacking: Day 2

Made it up to Chinidere Mountain for sunrise. Mount Hood is looking awesome this morning. I’ve been cold for the better part of 24 hours. Basically hiking at this point to stay warm but I’ll be fine. The sun should be coming out today.
