Creation date / 2012 / July
- A nice mix of wildflower among the rocks can be found on Table Mountain. Here Lupines and Indian Paintbrush bloom in July.
- The hiking trail goes out to the end of Table Mountain. This view is looking northwest, away from the Gorge.
- There were very few unpleasant bugs on this hike. Just a few at Table Mountain. I watched two butterflies dancing in the air. One would chase the other jetting straight into the air then plunging back towards the flowers. I was amazed how fast these butte
- Table Mountain has some really fine views of Mt. Adams. Here I was able to get some wildflowers in the bottom of the picture for some perspective.
- Lots of wildflower meadows on the bushwhack trail.
- More wildflower meadows on the bushwhack trail.
- Looking back towards Table Mountain from the bushwhack trail Kevin found. The trail worked out beautifully as a return loop.
- Almost back to the trailhead we sat down for a rest break. I took one last picture of the lovely Pacific Crest Trail that we had traveled on.
- Trailhead photo of the PCT for this Table Mountain Hike.
- The South Coldwater Trail begins in a new forest and has a moderate climb up to a ridge. Foxglove stretch for the sky in this small clearing.
- Tent caterpillars create a horror scene for plants growing along the trail this year (2012). The webs remind me of Shelob's lair in Lord of the Rings.
- Skeletons are all that remain of the forest in this part of the 1980 volcanic blast. The terrain allows abundant wildflowers.
- The trail breaks out of the forest where the hillside bore the full brunt of the 1980 volcanic blast. Still no trees growing after more than 30 years have passed.
- Coldwater Lake from the ridge southeast of the lake. This section of forest was being logged before the blast so there aren't many downed trees in this area.
- Logging equipment destroyed in the 1980 blast. This was a yarder used to pull logs to the top of the ridge.
