More Cascade Scenes

Wintry Mount Hood towers above the Cascade forests. I don't get up to Oregon much this time of year...usually I go in summer, and the mountain gets rather bare at that time.

Zigzag Falls rushes through the mountains. Notice the tree on the island in the middle of the cascade.

I hiked up to Hidden Lake yesterday. There is plenty of snow at the lake, 3800 feet elevation. But there's none below 3600 feet, which is a high snow line for the end of February.

Down at 1500 feet, moss grows everywhere. This is along the Salmon River. Those fish actually do swim up this stream in early fall...I need to come back in September and check it out.
