What an interesting day. The temperature in Hood River was about 67degF and partly sunny while that at Wahtum Lake was 50degF and fogged in with significant wind gusts. We put on extra clothing and headed out. The PCT is in excellent shape along this segment. The cloud base finally lifted near the rock outcroppings and the view was beautiful! Cold and wet, sure, and an excellent PNW hike day! Unfortunately, we didn't bother going up Chinidere as there was nothing to look see.
