12 miles of hiking • 3500' elevation gain •
Thought we'd take the PCT up from Herman Creek to the Benson Plateau. Mostly just to continue working off Thanksgiving. From about 1500' up, the remains of a previous day's freezing rain were quite evident. Snow was thickening up around 3000', and it looked like a solid cloud layer above. So we decided at that point to just go back down and follow the PCT a bit towards Cascade Locks, to take a look at the Pinnacles over there. Another great, soggy day in the woods.
