Wizard Island again |
Leaving Crater Lake |
The Watchman |
There was still a lot of snow on the ground. |
Llao Rock |
Hillman Peak |
Pumice Desert |
One last look back towards the rim |
Strange wood formation looking a bit like Gollum... |
Highway 138, the northern boundary of Crater Lake National Park |
I took the Mount Thielsen trail
from Diamond Lake
to connect back with the PCT. |
Diamond Lake from above |
Mount Thielsen (or Thielson - apparently people can't decide on one spelling) |
Back on the PCT! |
Lots of snow on the trail |
Even more snow on the north side of Mount Thielsen |
Alpenglow on Mount Thielsen |
Beautiful campsite at Thielsen Creek |
Yup, that's the trail. |
Tree eats trail marker. |
It's all downhill from here... ;-) |
Miller Lake |
Pretty flowers along the trail |
Oregon forest |
Camp at Tolo Camp. I loved how the evening light was filtering through the trees. |
More beautifully lighted trees, and my bear bag! |
Water cache at Windigo Pass |
...apparently not without controversy! |
Cowhorn Mountain. I talked to my parents (in Germany) for over an hour on the phone here. |
Summit Lake |
First views of Diamond Peak |
Still more snow on the trail. This one was a pain to avoid, since you obviously didn't want to walk on these cornices. |
Summit Lake |
Looking back towards Mount Thielsen (the pointy little triangle in the middle) |
The east side of Diamond Peak. Lots of snow. |
Lunch break up on Diamond Peak |
Whoops, where did the trail go?? |
Pretty patterns on a log |
My first bear grass on the PCT! |
Strange things growing on the forest floor |
At Shelter Cove Resort, waiting for my laundry. It felt so good to be clean again. |
Odell Lake |
Thanks for pointing that out. I totally would not have noticed a four-lane highway crossing my little wilderness dirt trail. |
Camping at the Upper Rosary Lakes |
