My wife Debbie and I (just had our 21st anniversary) have been enjoying our increasing freedom by tackling the Pacific Coast Trail. We've been methodically knocking off sections. Even though snow was in the forecast over Labor Day weekend, we set off to do a section between Santiam Pass and Jefferson Park. It's about a 42 mile portion, and we set aside four days to enjoy the scenery along the way.
Traversing the western slope of Three Fingered Jack from the PCT near Santiam Pass.
Jack with some lengthening shadows as summer wanes in the high country.
Entering part of the burned area from the huge B&B Complex fire. It started suspiciously just as George Dub-Ya arrived in the area a few years ago to discuss forest policy.
View north towards Mt Jefferson as the storm clouds thicken.
Jeff is Oregon's second highest peak and is the hardest to climb due to the summit spire. It has five active glaciers.
Looking down on Hunt's Lake deep in the Mt Jefferson Wilderness.
Deb relaxing in camp. She's hiding the Tequila (in a lexan flask, of course) from sight.
I was filling my water bottles from this tarn.
Some nice little lakes near Shale Lake.
Deb "enjoying" things to come here in Central Oregon.
