Landscapes
Colors and Textures
Some people might find this photo of a rock, a tree and a mountain. What I see is the rusty hues in the boulder, hard and mottled with lichen. A tree with textured bark that reaches down into the roots. A peak in the distance with lofty white clouds of various shapes and size set in a blue sky. To me, lots of cool colors and textures.
Great View, Great Companion
There are great views to enjoy around every corner of a trail. The journey is even better when you have a great companion to share it with. Here I am with my pup, and we’re enjoying the great outdoors!
Yawning Tree
I felt like this tree was bored with this spectacular view. Maybe it needed a change in the scenery?
PCT South
I hiked along the PCT trail about a mile and a half. Found a great spot to view the mountains of the PCT heading South.
PCT North
Off of Blue Lakes Road is Tamarack Junction. It is a crossroads for the PCT. North takes you to Carson Pass and South will take you to Ebbetts Pass near Hwy 4.
Clear for Miles…
From this spot, one could see for miles. That’s Hope Valley in the middle right side on the photo. I lucked out on the views on this road. I’ve driven by it so many times, never making the time to stop. My dad use to take us fishing at Blue lakes when we were young. I remember old dusty roads and goofing off along the shoreline. I don’t remember views like this. Time to make new memories and combine them with the old ones.
Blue Lakes Road
Fun road to travel on with lots of areas that I want to explore. I’ll be back soon!
Above Hope Valley
From a ridge near Crater Lake, you can see Hope Valley below. That’s Pickett Peak and Hawkins Peak to the left.
Final Look at Mt. Tallac
It was our final day of backpacking and this was Mt. Tallac from the ridge trail above Fallen Leaf Lake.
Hello, down there…
To give you an idea of the trail we came down. I’m above on a switch back taking photos while my sister hikes ahead of me.
