Enjoying my morning at Smith Rock State Park. Currently having breakfast at the top of Eagle’s Nest. First time here and it’s an awesome park so far. Planning to hike all the major trails today on a large loop.
I’m at the PCT trailhead at Santiam Pass and there is zero snow. I think I’m going to drive to a trailhead in the mountains on the northern side of the Jefferson Wilderness. A place I’ve never been to before. It’s lower elevation than here so should be fine. And the freezing temps in the morning should keep any ticks at bay. Still traumatized from that.
