The hiking season has been blessed by God with great weather this year. It was very foggy and miserable in the valley, but I read that at 2000 ft the sun would shine. Garnet and I headed to Mt Hood for our annual sisters hike. The hike to Zig Zag is considered difficult (9.6 mi RT with 2350 ft gain) but we took our time and made it to the top by 1:15p The skies were clear and the sun was in the perfect position to show off Mt Hood. Burnt Lake was pretty too with some fall golden yellows and deep shadows. We even saw mountain lion tracks. A beautiful day.
