Last Days - The PCT

Every time i travel west, i try to hit another section of the PCT. The stretch near sisters was lovely.

The snow pack was impressive! The trail disappeared under feet and feet of snow for many stretches.

This guy was dangling from a tree mid trail.

A really cool fungus! Left: with as much snow as there was, it was in the 60's making for a comfortable stroll.


Left: This moss was growing on a lot of the trees. It was uncertain whether it had something to do with mortality or if it was an opportunist growing after the tree died. Right: tons of siskins and warblers filled the forest!!

Yet another incredible snowy peak...

Further down the highway, this waterfall was gushing with clear spring melt.

The volume of water was impressive.




no need for words...

Forest fire... and then one last climb before hitting the road back to portland...

Left: Glimpses of Mt Hood along the way...
Right: And back to PA i went... to unpack and repack for the road trip to Nova Scotia... TBC...
