8 miles of hiking • 2250' elevation gain •
Beautiful day for a hike up to Cairn Basin along the Mazama Trail.
The last time I was up in this area was last year, one day after the Dollar Lake Fire started. It was interesting to see how the fire changed the look of the mountain.
There is still some snow in areas, and we did have to cross a snow bridge to get into Cairn Basin. I'm expecting that the snow bridge could be gone by this upcoming weekend.
