Miles: 31
Adrian: We woke up with a layer of ice on the outside of our tarp and a bit of condensation on the inside. I'm guessing the temperature was down into the high 20s last night.
We woke at sunrise and were treated to a great view of Jefferson. It was awesome in the morning light.
After a steep climb I caught a glimpse of Caterpillar and Landshark. We haven't seen them for quite some time so it'll be good to catch up.
BIG views of Mt. Hood to the north as well. We even saw Adams way up there in the distant. It's so beautiful.
Kirsten: The bulk of yesterday's storm cleared out by the morning and we woke up to Mount Jefferson towering right above our tent. It's amazing to me how close we were to this striking peak all day and never even got a glimpse of it because of the cloud cover.
We hiked out of the alpine meadow and then up and over a ridge, where we were treated to unobstructed views of Mount Hood. I remember back before Sisters being able to barely see the top of Mount Hood. Now it's right in front of us and within two days we'll be hiking on its shoulder.
We met up with Landshark and Caterpillar on top of the ridge and spent the rest of the day hiking with them. I'm not sure where Beautiful, Gorgeous and the rest of our group of friends are. I hope we catch up we them once we reach Timberline Lodge.
