Mt. Adams
There are excellent views of Mt. Adams, Mt. Rainier, Mt. St. Helen's and the Goat Rocks massif; all from one pass.
Sheep Lake Camp
I hiked with another PCT hiker for a day and a half. Lindsey (white sleeping bag in the center) liked to sleep out in the open, like me.

Timberline Lodge on Mt. Hood at 6000'
This magnificent historic wilderness lodge, is where the Shining was filmed.
A Walk in the Clouds
Moisture condensed on tree branches and fell as rain. The ground away from the trees was dry. My pants got wet from the brush, so I decided to carry rain pants in Washington.
A Hand Full of Delicious Huckleberries and Blueberries
I found a patch where they were plentiful. The blueberries grew on bushes 3 feet tall.

779 Miles Hiked
The Cascades are volcanic mountains that start at Lassen Volcanic National Park and extend up into British Columbia.
The Obsidian Falls Area
I thought this was the most interesting part of the Three Sisters Wilderness. There were tons of this volcanic glass. The third picture is a closeup of the obsidian on the right side of waterfall on the fourth picture.
