Boots on the Trail

Union Peak (Crater Lake National Park) 21-Sep-2021

A return visit for views from Union Peak on a day with near-perfect weather.

A chance to wallow in the clear air and bright skies gifted us by the recent (and much needed) rain.

A return to Observation Peak on hopefully the last smokey hike of 2021.

A good walk to Little Hyatt Reservoir along the PCT under almost blue skies.

Our resolve crumples and we flee north (temporarily) for a breath of fresh(er) air.

Another moment of respite from the smothering embrace of rampant wildfire smoke.
