Central Cascades

I was trying to find a location with less rain showers this weekend and somehow ended up camping in the mountains. 🤔 Today was so fun and I want to remember that when the snow showers start in the morning. The mountain views have been stunning. Seeing how close I can get to Mount Washington tomorrow. Maybe the weather will be totally fine but I’m prepared to bail if I’m not able to stay warm.

Central Cascades: Part 2

Camped at the 2000 mile mark on the PCT. Mosquitoes were already bad but nice campsite at a pond. I should probably learn the lesson that the weather in the mountains is always going to be more extreme than expected. By Saturday morning I was already in survival mode so these photos are from Friday. (more)

No kidding! I drove down the Icefields Parkway (Banff-Jasper) yesterday and it was living up to its name. A lot of cyclists looked very cold and wet in their gear.
@EllenInEdmonton That sounds so beautiful though! The name sounds intimidating.

Yesterday would have been a not-so-fun day to hike or bike in the area!
@EllenInEdmonton Fair looks chilly! Very pretty though.
