Trout Lake to Mile 2246.6 - 20.2 miles
And what a show it was. The mountains up here in Oregon & Washington are spectacular in the way they dominate the skyline. Mt Adams is no different. This shot of it's North West face came after a lengthy cloudy period in the afternoon so was a bonus
I stood and gazed at the mountain for 15 minutes watching the clouds curl up and around its flanks....a stunning show. The Adams Glacier is one of the more impressive I have seen
A local in the trail passed the comment that a couple of Europeans had skiied down the glacier!!
The clouds around the mountain were amazing all day including thus lenticular beauty in the morning
Once on the trail this angry gathering of clouds was compelling viewing
Talking of the trail, we were back on the PCT at 10.30 am after a divine breakfast at the Abbey. A big thank you to Kozen & Kirk who looked after us. A big thanks too to Dennis who drove us back to the trail along with the cool Minnesota couple who were at the Abbey with us. Trout Lake was a great stopover.
We snuggled against the mountain all day & have camped en route to Goat Rocks - a bonus being Muffin & Pacer turning up to camp with us....Weta
