Campsite at Breitenbush Lake. This was the worst place on the whole trail for mosquitoes. The mosquitoes died in our food as we heated it up and we ate, then stayed, in the tents.
Sunrise on Breitenbush Lake. I'm sure this lake would be more hospitable in the fall but we had clouds of mosquitoes around the lake.
Sunrise on Breitenbush Lake looking at Mt. Jefferson. The mosquitoes weren't bad until the sun came up. I ended up leaving behind part of my water filter trying to get away from the mosquitoes.
The wildflowers along the trail were beautiful.
Heavy snows lingered late and covered the trail. It was a great opportunity for the Scouts to use their route-finding skills. This is looking north back the way we came.
Climbing up through the snow was an easy way to lose the trail but we were able to take a sighting from a distant landmark and continue on our route.
Here is Tyler climbing up the trail through the snow. We saw a small patch of the dirt trail on the way up, but it was mostly covered in snow.
Indian Paintbrush blooms near the snow along the trail.
Mt. Jefferson looms larger as we walk farther south. When we started we could barely see Mt. Jefferson and now Mt. Hood becomes smaller each day.
Another day of beautiful weather and plenty of bugs for company during rest stops.
Mt. Jefferson peeks above the ridge. There were plenty of mosquitoes along this whole section of the trail in July.
We played on the slopes of Park Butte for over an hour before we crossed through the pass and dropped down into Jefferson Park.

Lance is taking a break. Mt. Hood is the snow-capped mountain in the far distance. Olallie Butte is the nearer peak.
