Backpacking, Part 2: Up the Pacific Coast Trail

These are the
results of my attempts to feed my shutterbug addiction while hiking
up to Jefferson Park on Saturday afternoon. We set out from the parking lot,
hiked up several switchbacks to the Pacific Crest Trail and followed it all
the way to Jefferson Park. Along the way, we saw quite a few mushrooms, much
to the delight of everyone involved! (aa020005, 08, 13-15, and 60)
The trail snaked higher and higher, affording us spectacular
views of Mt. Jefferson and many other mountains of the Cascade Range. The air
was a bit hazy, but I think we could see mountains for about 50-60 miles.
