PCT in pictures, Part II

Unicroc looking back at me from inside this lava cave just off the trail
Mt. Shasta!
Trinity Alps area, a bit smoky from a nearby wildfire
We spent a great deal of time watching these salamanders swim around
Sunset from the smoky trail
Fox scat & it's beautiful, fresh track right next to it!
Beautiful colorful wildflowers
Marble Mountain Wilderness offered many beautiful surprises
Black Marble Mountain from our campsite, Unicroc couldn't resist climbing up it
Makin' some progress!
Oregon wildfire damage, just before we entered Crater Lake National Park
The breathtaking Crater Lake
We climbed a side mountain & this was the view from the observation tower
Vintage trail signage
Huckleberries made for yummy snacks along the trail
Obsidian Falls with my favorite rock everywhere...OBSIDIAN!!!
A cloudy walk through the Three Sisters Wilderness
North & Middle Sister as the clouds finally were lifting
Hitchhiking from Sisters down to Bend
2,000 miles!!!!!
Pepper Flake in front of Three Fingered Jack
The PCT took us right through Jefferson Park & Mt. Jefferson was such a grand presence as we walked around it
Reuniting with Gouda for the first time (from the A.T.)!!!! at Olallie Lake, with Mt. Jefferson in the background
Little Crater Lake, a volcanic spring with crystal clear blue water
A mushroom growing on TOP of another mushroom!
The trail leading up to Mt. Hood
Some interesting water crossings over glacial streams running off of the mountains
Chicken of the Woods, yum!
Eagle Creek waterfalls
It felt like we were in a rainforest
Tunnel Falls, if you look closely you can see that the trail goes behind the falls, through a tunnel
A view from inside the tunnel behind Tunnel Falls
After spending a few days in Portland, we got back to the trail late at night & decided to cross the bridge & find a campsite in Washington

To be continued...
