Grouse Point and Serene Lake Loop

Down tree at Frazier Turnaround Beginning of Grouse Point trail Shellrock Creek Drainage?  From Grouse Point trail Grouse Point Trail - just a little bit of snow Old road past Grouse Point Trail cutoff - old road continues Southwest Cache Meadow - with water! Cache Meadow Cache Meadow Cache Meadow Hard to see this, but it was a neat little spring that was feeding the meadow This was where the spring popped out of the ground I can't tell if this is the huckleberries sprouting or if this is just recent growth (the red stems) Serene Lake from Helispot overlook on Grouse Point Trail Serene Lake and 4 Mountains - St Helens, Rainier, Adams and Hood Snow at the helispot - not a whole lot Mt Hood from the Helispot on Grouse Point Trail Upper Serene Lake Trail Someone left something for the summer - a tarp and a net - At first I thought it was a backpack - it kind of freaked me out. Serene Lake from the outlet crossing A neat rockslide on the Serene Lake Trail Looking across the South Fork or the Roaring River - There is another trail over there - the 511 One of the HUGE messes on the Serene Lake Trail - this was so bad, it was hard to find the trail on the other side of it. This is uphill from that mess.  It was several trees that came down all in the same general area. Crossing the beginning of the South Fork of the Roaring River - this is from middle Rock Lake More blowdown - this was two uprooted trees - one right in the tread This was a very wet section of trail. Middle Rock Lake - unlike Serene Lake, this was almost complely frozen Middle Rock Lake - unlike Serene Lake, this was almost complely frozen Hard to make this out, but there was a really neat rock formation above Middle Rock Lake Mt Hood from High Rocks
