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)

@andrewbriscoe ❤️ Love your tours! That unknown mountain very much looks like Black Butte to me (also would be in the vicinity). Very nice climb & amazing views in all directions from up there (plus fire tower)! Stayed for several hours... I went in May 2019 as a fallback when the area around the Three Fingered Jack still had too much snow for my liking (on the way back from Smith Rock)...

@toxi Thank you! Could be, I’ve never been to Black Butte. I need to check that out. It was unnamed on my AllTrails map. Looked to be just northwest of Suttle Lake on the other side of highway 20.
