Snow, Slush, Rain and Sun
Just Your Average Day on Mt. Hood
 | Old Salmon River Trail, USFS

It takes about an hour in the car to experience the drive over Mt. Hood. Traveling from Sandy to Government Camp, then past CJ's gas station, a lot happens before one pops out in Central Oregon. Today: snow, slush, rain and sun. Forget the fact that the trees are still dazzling to the eye in shades of fire. Forget the feeling that it was summer just "yesterday." All bets are off. Snow is falling, in big, fluffy flakes. Slush lines the roadway. I can't help but glance up at Timberline and think of strapping on a pair of skis.
Except not yet. READ MORE On my Mt. Hood Fav List: Old Salmon River Trail, Trillium Lake Loop, Little Zigzag Falls, & Mirror Lake. Get the details here. Post your adventure here.
