Here are a few pictures from our backpacking trip in Central Oregon. The participants were Eric, Jason, Mike, and myself.

Here is the sunrise view of Three Fingered Jack from Marion Lake...
Much of our hiking was through burned-out forest. Oddly beautiful...

We conquered two steep climbs on day 2, as we hiked from Marion Lake to Carl Lake...

We were rewarded with awesome scenery (Mt. Jefferson is hiding behind the cloud) and a downhill section to finish the day...

Self-portrait. Happy to be at our campsite, which was probably one of the best I've ever seen...

The morning alpenglow in the hills surrounding Carl Lake...

The views along the PCT were incredible...

Um, the views along the PCT were incredible...

The steepish trail leading down to Wasco Lake, our destination for night 3.

Good times!
