Up High

On Sunday my sister and a friend climb up out of the fog to the summit of Spencer's Butte (2058').

While the Willamette Valley was socked in, several of the Cascade mountains shown white and bright.  

This is Mount Jefferson.

It's 10,463' tall and about 77 miles NE of Eugene, Oregon.

Here are the Three Sisters - The North Sister (10,090'), Middle Sister (10,052), and South Sister (10,363').  They're about 65 miles to the east.  The Sisters' Wilderness Areas has become so crowded that beginning in 2020, they'll restrict the number of hikers per day.   

Closer to home Mt Pisgah (1060') poked up out of the fog...

...as did the television towers atop Blanton Heights (1360').

Off toward the west the Coast Range was fog-free.

The Willamette Valley thought remained foggy all day.

Oh thank you for the reminders of our true home .... made me a homesick (but still grateful to be where my feet are warm and mostly dry) . Beautiful pictures. I'll be enjoying at least some of those views in June (maybe only from Mt Pigsah).
