Central Cascades

I was trying to find a location with less rain showers this weekend and somehow ended up camping in the mountains. 🤔 Today was so fun and I want to remember that when the snow showers start in the morning. The mountain views have been stunning. Seeing how close I can get to Mount Washington tomorrow. Maybe the weather will be totally fine but I’m prepared to bail if I’m not able to stay warm.

Square Lake at sunrise. Orange and purple clouds reflect into a relatively calm alpine lake. White mist floats above the lake in the distance. A few trees are on the opposite shore.
Three Fingered Jack. The large jagged rocky peak has three points, for the three fingers. An alpine meadow with some gray dead tree trunks are in front of the mountain. New green trees are thriving in the fire’s wake. Portions of the dark rock and ridge line are covered in white snow, but the peak is not. Beautiful blue skies.
The Old Summit Trail enters the Jefferson Wilderness. A sign on trail right says Mount Jefferson Wilderness, Deschutes National Forest. The trail traverses an exposed forest with some green trees and some burnt ones. Light blue sky with artistic white clouds.

A nice hike yesterday 😁
But for the first time I had to explain to someone how "allemansrätt" or right of public access works.
They wanted to chase me out of their forrest because it was "private", but that's not how it works in most Nordic countries...

Floofy birbs we've seen in the last few days and in the yard. Wish I had hair like the merganser, when I was younger I could have.

A bald eagle with characteristic white head and yellow beak wings through a blue sky seemingly at an angle.
Very pretty cedar waxwing with a swept-back crest on its head. It's head is rusty brown, fading down to gray on its lower body, with a black mask over its eyes, face and beak, its tail tipped with bright yellow.
A maturing Annas hummingbird perched on a feeder, its thin beak long and dark. It is mostly green with a buffy breast and dark gorget, a few spots of ruby behind the eye.

Plenty of interesting sights on the morning ramble, finally got decent shots of the elusive swamp creature known as the Virginia rail. Also some snuggling ducklings and the weirdest thing I've seen in some time, a huge flippin' turtle, I swear two feet long! A spiny softshell turtle, from back east, not native but somehow here in Lake Washington. #Hiking #Birding #GetOutside

Close-up of a Virginia rail showing its curious gray face, eyes and pointy beak, and speckling along its lower side, It's perched on a tree limb.
Seven fuzzy yellow-brown ducklings in a bunch together, their cuddling for warmth, although it was not cold out. They're in a bunch of yellowing grass.
A very large, soft shelled turtle with a pointy snout, hauled out on a log. It's olive green with yellowish underside and you can see stout front flipper with claw like appendages. Very weird looking.

Been thinking of making a post like this for some time, apologies if some of this is not completely relevant: this community seems more like it's about Reddit the platform/product than Reddit the social "thing", but I'm sure a lot of people have similar experiences to mine.

PCT Section H Backpacking

After last weekend’s nightmare fuel, I’m in heaven once again. Hiked 2,100 feet up to a small mountain peak in the Cascades. No one around for miles. Views of Mount Hood and Adams outside my tent. Trees are blocking the light west wind. I packed out honey buns for breakfast. Couldn’t feel better. 😍🤣🏔️

#Backpacking #Hiking #WashingtonState #Outdoors #LandscapePhotography

A view of tall green forest and a creek below in the Washington Cascades. Mountain peaks in the distance with light blue sky.
A boot path up to a small mountain peak in the Cascades. Wildflowers bloom along the meadowy mountain side. Light blue sky with streaks of white clouds.
Trout Creek in a forest. Large and small rocks stick out of the water creating small rapids. Trees line the creek.

PCT Section H: Part 2

Enjoyed the section from Rock Creek to Wind River Road. Retreated back home Saturday evening to avoid an impending atmospheric river. Bunker Hill was the most surprising feature along this small section, wish I would’ve had the time to climb it. Current plan for this weekend is to continue north to see what the snow situation is like on the ground.

#Backpacking #Hiking #PNW #WashingtonState #Outdoors #LandscapePhotography

The Pacific Crest Trail rounds a mountain side of rocks covered by light green moss. Light green bushes on the right side of the dirt trail. Tall green trees in the distance.
The Pacific Crest Trail passes through light green grasses on both sides of the trail. A forested Bunker Hill stands prominently in the distance. Gray cloudy sky.
A shallow Wind River meanders toward the mighty Columbia. A small rock bar separates two channels. Tall green trees on the banks. Gray cloudy skies.

PCT Section H: Part 3

Back on the trail heading north toward the Indian Heaven Wilderness. I’m excited to see what the snow conditions are on the ground. That will determine what happens next. I don’t have an ice ax or know how to use one (yet) but I have micro spikes and the sense to turn around when it gets sketchy. 😁 Planning to explore Big Huckleberry Mountain and maybe Grassy Knoll if I can’t get too far north.

A close up view of the texture of a large burnt tree trunk. The view looks toward the light blue sky with green tree branches above.
A white backpacking tent in the middle of the forest just off the PCT. The tent is pitched among ferns and trees of various sizes.
A small wooden footbridge along the Pacific Crest Trail. A stream flows underneath and ferns, plants, and tall trees surround the path.

PCT Section H: Part 4

Didn’t make it as far as I imagined but I did encounter patches of snow starting around mile 2199. Went back a couple miles and camped near a spring for water. Should make it to Indian Heaven in the morning but will have to start heading south midday. I believe this is my first backpacking trip this year exploring an all new area and I’m loving it. Washington is a very beautiful and special state.

The Pacific Crest Trail travels by lush green plants with yellow flowers. A few small purple flowers are also on the right side of the trail. Tall tree trunks ahead.
The PCT traverses a grassy meadow and enters tall green trees. The trees cast a shadow on the trail. Blue sky with a couple streaks of gray clouds.

Always considered myself a hiker who also enjoys related activities like rockhounding, beachcombing, mushrooming and birding. But recently got a new, better lens and so now guess I'm a hiker/birder, still a hiker but also a bird nerd, as my offspring say. #Birding #Hiking #GetOutside

A frilly rust-colored crest atop its head adorns this cedar wawing, a striking bird with a black face mask, yellow breast, rust brown upper back and ray wins and tail. Its upper wings are tipped in bright red, the end of its tail feather bright yellow.

Leftover pics from our local hikes the last couple weeks, some pretty lowland lupine, a large preening beaver, a yellow warbler and a luecistic song sparrow we think might be a chick. Maybe the offspring of "Lucy," our regular leucistic sparrow we see often. Or perhaps it's just Lucy molting. #Hiking #Birding #GetOutside

A pretty big beaver preening, its head is sideways and being scratched by a rear paw, and you can clearly see it big round paddle tail with sort of a scale-pattered surface. It is sitting in marsh grass above a pond, an is reflected in the water.
A pretty yellow warbler, gold and yellow and a short, sharp black beak, perched on limb in the shade among green leaves.
A small song sparrow with a white head and mottled brown and white body. It is perched on a stick and new feathers above its wings are frilly. It has a pigmentation condition know as leucism.

Lovely hike this morning in the #Boise foothills. Birds were singing like crazy in the riparian areas, #hiking #birds

A bird called a Yellow-breasted Chat is perched on a bitterbrush shrub with small yellow flowers. It has a yellow belly and throat. Its back, wings, head and tail are gray. It has a bold white line above its eye.

Sun, wildflowers, and even some snow today. 🥾🌞

A pair of orangish-yellow western wallflowers growing near some whitish-gray speckled rocks, with blue mist penstemon flowers scattered in the background.
A view of the snow-covered peaks of the Rocky Mountains in the far distance, as seen across an open meadow with grasses and some tall pine trees on either side. Sunny, blue skies above.
Clusters of white pom-pom-like flowers and green leaves on a few stems of a chokecherry shrub growing alongside a hiking trail, with a large, red sandstone rock and clear blue skies in the background.

Beech in the park near my village.

Lusha's favourite walk in summer is this river trail. There's about 5km of it, looping around and back through dense forest which is lovely and cool for us in July (when this was taken).

The "interesting" trail involves scrambling over rocks, past a little waterfall, then up a steep slope into woods COVERED in wild blueberries.

Trail in the woods

@GSteffanos@mstdn.social avatar

Hideaway on a hidden cove, Scoville Reservoir, Wolcott, Connecticut. June 3, 2020, 7:26 PM.

An evening in late spring. We are looking out through an opening in the forest along the shore of a small, secluded cove on a large lake. Through a break in the clouds we see a patch of cornflower blue sky. Below that, the setting sun is trying to burn through a thin, hazy cloud, tinting it a pale golden orange. The sky is mirrored on the still surface of the lake. There are two young trees growing a few inches apart to our left. A cluster of water grasses sprouting from the shallows just ahead are a lush dark green. Across the water the two peninsulas that form the cove are densely wooded.
