Snowshoed the length of Ghost Ridge today. Miles of clean snow that no one had been on.
I think I had the trouble all day getting in and out of the parking.
I started by heading down the PCT
The PCT Trail had good snow conditions
The trail was in better shape then I thought it would be
Barlow Butte in a fog.
Trail went up the west side.
Barlow Rd. Canyon was mostly obscured by clouds.
The trail to the Ghost Ridge view point.
Mt. Hood obscured by clouds.
Start of running the ridge.
Nice little opening at first saddle.
Heading up to second summit.
Cloudy view of Hood from second summit.
Heading out from second summit
Heading up to third summit.
The view west from third summit.
Most of Hood still cloud covered.
Last bit off ridge before getting to the end.
Forth Summit and Mt. Jefferson
View of Mt. Jefferson through the clouds.
End of the Ridge
Looking back up the ridge to the north.
Heading down through the trees.
These trees still had good snow cover.
Found the PCT and started heading north.
Trail sign along the way.
Clear photo of Mt. Hood.
Barlow Butte.
I had to try and make a snow creature.
Back on the PCT heading home.
