Burned area near the start of the Millican Crater Trail Burned area near the start of the Millican Crater Trail Junction with the Trout Creek Tie trail Heading down the Trout Creek Tie trail in the burned area Trail thru the burned area - pole creek fire from 2018 More hiking in the burned area - Pole Creek fire from 2018 Millican Crater in the foreground and Black Crater behind it. I believe this is our first glimpse of North Sister Our campsite near Alder Creek in the burned area Our campsite near Alder Creek in the burned area North sister I think this is Mt Washingon in this distance I think this is North Sister I think this is South Sister North and Middle Sisters thru the trees Un-named creek crossing on Camp Lake trail Un-named creek on Camp Lake trail Crossing the North Fork of Squaw/Wychus Creek Crossing the North Fork of Squaw/Wychus Creek I believe this is Middle Sister in the distance - above North Fork of Squaw/Whychus Creek First bit of snow on the Camp Creek trail - a little over 6500' or so North Sister I think that might be South Sister behind the trees Camp Lake - notice the high snow bank on the far side of the lake -we heard big chunks falling off regularly Camp Lake with Middle Sister above it - our objective for the following morning Camp at the north end of Camp Lake South Sister across Camp Lake Camp Lake as we were climbing up to Middle Sister Walking around one of the many snow fields on the way up to Middle Sister Hard to tell, but this is a pretty steep slope - Making our way up to Middle Sister About half way up to Middle Sister - doesn't look too far, but it still about 1500 vertical feet up South Sister peeking above the clouds Kirk and Carly on top of Middle Sister - it wasn't very large and we couldn't see a thing - we were in the clouds Another view of the top of Middle Sister - we sat behind the big rock to get out of the wind Glissading down one of the Middle Sister snowfields Glissading down one of the Middle Sister snowfields Camp Lake after we came back down from Middle Sister - notice how much more snow has fallen off the south side of the lake This was the outlet to Camp Lake - it has made a snow tunnel under the deep snow This was the outlet to Camp Lake - it has made a snow tunnel under the deep snow Some strange writing on a stone at the outlet of Camp Lake A neat rock formation on the Camp Lake trail Our campsite at the un-named lakes along the Green Lakes trail Our campsite at the un-named lakes along the Green Lakes trail Carly ready to take off from camp on Tuesday morning Park Meadow on the Green Lakes trail - I think that is South Sister in the background Park Meadow on the Green Lakes trail Broken Top - From Green Lakes trail just north of Green Lakes South Sister from just north of Green Lakes First glimpse of one of the Green Lakes South Sister from just north of Green Lakes The first Green Lake (the northernmost one) The main Green Lake We went to cross the stream and I saw these pussy willows - I haven't seen one of them forever - never on a trail South Sister from Green Lakes This was the beginning of the trail up to Broken Top - VERY steep - but easy to follow Heading up to Broken Top This is above the saddle going up to Broken Top - basically we got to the saddle and then took the ridge up to the top I still don't know what this is - and the photo doesn't do the colors justice. It was very vibrant The three sisters hiding in the clouds - taken from the top of Broken Top South Sister and the huge laval flow below it along with Green Lakes - taken from the top of Broken Top Looking southwest from the top of Broken Top Thise little black specs are hundreds (maybe thousands) of butterflies - on the top of Broken Top Looking south from the small ledge we capped out at on top of Broken Top - any farther was a reasonably dangerous exposed rock climb Looking southeast from the small ledge we capped out at on top of Broken Top - any farther was a reasonably dangerous exposed rock climb South Sister and Green Lake from the top of Broken Top All Three Sisters and part of Green Lake from the top of Broken Top Kirk on top of Broken Top - he made a sketchy climb (one we had to talk him down from). But he did make it to the actual top of Broken Top A veryu interesting rock formation on the northwest ridge going up to Broken Top. Kirk thought it looked like a Chinese dragon Fall Creek and one of the lava flows Heading to Moraine Lake South Sister from our campsite at Moraine Lake The Moraine Lake basin from our campsite at Moraine Lake Our campsite at Moraine Lake Cool Lenticular cloud over South Sister This was an interesting bug that just buried himself in the middle of the trail. Don't know what kind of bug it was. Finally hiking the PCT with the Rock Mesa (made out of lava) to the right Looking south at the Rock Mesa and PCT Neat meadow on the PCT near Mesa Springs Neat meadow on the PCT near Mesa Springs Neat meadow on the PCT near Mesa Springs - It is took bad the flowers in the photo don't show up better - they were pretty vibrant in person Creek near Mesa Springs Chalking up miles on the PCT The Husband in the background The Husband in the background - Jeff in the Foregound Obsidian Falls Obsidian Falls Carly and Sarah sitting on a HUGE piece of obsidian Obsidian Falls Obsidian Falls Obsidian Falls Neat Cliff band just north of Obsidian Falls I think this is the "Prouty Memorial Plaque" in the Obsidian area. Harley Prouty was a former president of the Mazamas Campsite at "Sawyer Bar" - on the way to Opie Dildok Pass Coming up in the rain and fog to Opie Dildock Pass - it was very steep - all thru lava Coming up in the rain and fog to Opie Dildock Pass - it was very steep - all thru lava Minnie Scott Springs in the fog Meadow just north of Minnie Scott Spring Going thru another one of the lava beds north of Yapoah Crater - The weather was finally clearing up South Matthieu Lake
