Smoky Old Snowy

See that? No, you don’t, because of the smoke.

PCT and Cispus Pass

On our second day we continued to climb in elevation and into the heart of the Goat Rocks Wilderness.

The trailhead is at about 4000 feet elevation and we climbed about 1700 feet that day in only 4.5 miles.

My brother told me that the skies over Montana have been swathed in wildfire smoke for a long time.

McMenamins is a local chain of bars and restaurants.

There is a small and fascinating park in the northernmost part of California dedicated to learning about and exploring a volcanic landscape.

Imagine my pleasure when we arrived and discovered that these are Modoc petroglyphs.

Have you ever revisited a place you once lived?

One of my favourite things to do is to visit a fellow blogger in real life.

I am hugely grateful to be 51 and happily climbing mountains.
