First hike in over a year with Charlotte. She had never been this close to Mt Hood so it was exciting for her. The air is a little thick from the fires on the north side of the mountain, but it was still worth it. Next time we’ll bring the kids and camp overnight or swim in the lake.

It was a lot smokier on the north side of Hood (Chinidere Mt.) yesterday (to be expected, I guess, given the location of the fires). It doesn’t look too smoky from where you are. Good to know. Maybe we’ll do Tom, Dick, and Harry next week.
