8.8 miles of hiking • 2750' elevation gain • 2 nights

Reserved the A-Frame with a crew.
12 strong, we brought the party. Splitboards, Snowshoes, Crampons, Crosscountry, it seemed everyone was representing. Turns above the cabin, and traverses over to Cloud Cap, where I saw Saddle Mt, 125 miles away in the coast range. Rockfall in the Elliot, and amazing inversions under a blood red full moon. Headlamp snow hiking vibes. Weather was outstanding the whole time.
Mt. Hood, I think we are friends for now....

Grrr... Sideways photos? They appear normal on my desktop and phone. Sorry Y'all. Kyle? Any ideas? Mac OSX. They look fine in preview. Shot on iphone4.

Hey Nat—sorry about the sideways photos. It seems that the iPhone relies on metadata to orient the photos properly and not actual pixel rotation. Older cameras used to do the same thing. I don't really have an easy, programmatic fix for knowing when a photo really should be rotated and when it should.

Looks like a fun trip!

Thanks for the response Kyle. Trinity Alps looks like a blast. I fixed the photo problem by uploading them to Insty then putting them on here. that also helps reduce the size (MB) of the pics. I was going to delete my comment , but the page spawned errors and would not let me.
Thanks for the site again, it motivates me to get out, and explore new places.
