Fanton to Squaw Mountain
Landing/Road on Fanton trail - trail heads down road for a bit and then heads off to the left.
View looking south from first landing on Fanton trail
Fanton trail crossing 4614-167 spur road - someone has been doing a lot of shooting on this road
Boat dumped on 4614-167 spur that crosses Fanton trail
Car body dumped on 4614-167 spur that crosses Fanton trail
Looking down the 4614-167 spur from 4614- you can see the boat on the right
Looking at all the trash on the 4614-167 spur road that crosses the Fanton trail
This is where people have been shooting - on the 4614-167 spur road - the Fanton trail corsses about 50 feet behind that dirt berm.
Looking at all the garbage from near where the Fanton trail crosses the 4614-167 spur road

Snow started getting deeper as we left the landing - Fanton Trail
Hard to see but someone had come up the trail recently. I'm guessing it was last weekend.
Fanton trail - beautiful forest
Old Baldy trail approaching junction with trail to Squaw Mountain - snow was getting much deeper in spots
Old Baldy trail junction east - continuous snow
Snow on the trail up to Squaw Mountain was REALLY deep in spots - this was probably 8 feet deep
It looks like there was a little bit of fresh snow on the old tracks - I think the little bit of rain we had this weekend fell as snow up here.
Crossing the sidehill before hitting the road up to Squaw Mountain was rough
Finally on the road up to Squaw Mountain - snow was probably 3-4 feet deep
Looking back down the 4610-180 spur that heads up to Squaw Mountain
Radio Repaeater on Squaw Mountain - you can see how deep the snow is - more than 4 feet I'm sure.
South end of Squaw Mountain
Mt Hood from Squaw Mountain
View from our lunch spot - the old lookout location had at least 3 feet of snow on it still
I noticed this pile of broken/melted glass - I'm sure those are remnants of the lookout
Looking to the southeast from the top of Squaw Mountain
Looking at old lookout location from the south end of Squaw Mountain
You can kind of see how much snow was up on top of Squaw Mountain
This was on a tree at the junction of Old Baldy and Fanton - I couldn't tell if the sign had been absorbed by the tree or what but it looked interesting.
Sign at junction of old Baldy and Fanton trails
This was on the spur road out to the landing at the corner - that looks like a fresh kitty print I think
