Today we hiked just 10 miles after getting dropped off by Colin at Frog Lake. We had to skip 87 miles to go around a closure for the Lionshead fire that burned in 2021.

This easy day was exactly what we needed to re-enter trail life after a much needed zero in Eugene.

We got amazing views of Mt. hood and the terrain really wasn’t that rough except for the sand (why sand? Thought we left that behind in the desert?).

We finished our day off with a visit to the Timberline lodge and got soup and bread, beer, and hot cocoa ? Our bellies are full, and we’re ready for 50 packed miles to Cascade Lockes!
