Walk in the Woods

We had to get away, so Lizzy and I went for a hike in the Brown Mountain lava fields near Lake of the Woods. The trail had a couple inches of wet slushy snow on it and the sun broke through the clouds occasionally.

We stopped here when Mount McLoughlin appeared through the trees and clouds.

We saw only two other hikers, a young couple and their dog, on the last miles of a three day, thirty mile trek from Little Hyatt Lake. They told us of losing the trail in waist deep snow with nothing but a GPS to guide them.
