Jefferson Park is located in the Mt. Jefferson Wilderness. This Alpine meadow is located just below the northwest slopes of Mt Jefferson. Two friends and I hiked the strenuous 5 mile hike to the park. We camped out overnight under clear skies and a full moon.
Odell Lake is located high in the Oregon Cascade Mtn range. This lake is over 300 feet deep and holds a healthy population of Kokanee Salmon. We weren't lucky enough to catch any but we sure had fun trying.
We enjoyed camping at the Lake for a few days where we fished and swam in the cool clear waters.
Table Rock Wilderness, OR: Three friends and I hiked up to the summit of Table Rock. The hike which started out as a pleasant stroll on a country road soon turned into a grueling uphill climb. The effort was well worth it though with outstanding views of much of the surrounding high Cascade peaks. The only thing that was better then the view was the company I shared it with.
Bull of the Woods Wilderness:: Lena and I spent our 7th anniversary hiking the Bull of the Woods trail to the lookout tower. The weather was warm with a cool breeze that swept through the trees as we traversed the Mountain side. Much to our surprise where numerous fallen logs that obstucted the trail, testing our endurance. Neither words nor pictures can describe the view at the top. God was with us.
