A Beautiful view of Mt Hood as seen from the drive north. We met our Aunt Carolyn to go hiking to Elk Meadows before continuing home.
This hike is a little over 6 miles with about 1,200 ft elevation gain.
Most of the hike is in the forest, we passed lots of wildflowers and berries along the way. There were several water crossings, with the logs over Newton Creek being the most treacherous. Mt Hood in the background.
We hiked the Elk Meadows Perimeter Trail.
We enjoyed glimpses of Mt Hood through the trees.
welcome break from the long car drive home.
Here are some of the wildflowers and berries we saw on the hike today:
