A rugged rock formation above Newton Creek viewed from Lamberson Butte. The rocks look like they could fall into Newton Canyon at any time.
A small spring in the forest near the junction of the Elk Meadows Perimeter trail and the Knarl Ridge access trail provides a lush growing area for marsh plants.
Another new trail sign along the Elk Meadow Trail.
Another view of Elk Meadows showing Mt. Hood. The trail goes around the perimiter of the meadow. The meadow around the shelter is less marshy.
