The woods in that first photo are breathtaking. I've got to get up into the PNW sometime; we just don't have forests like that down here...

It's so many forests like this here, you may hike for days and days on end. And a little further from the city, won't see many people, if at all :)

I love the sight of endless forests among mountains, like this. Would love to read a more detailed description of your hike. Nice pictures of flowers too, I should take more flower shots when hiking and then maybe my wife will be more interested in coming with me.

Barnaby - I should have put some description of this hike; it's so popular around Portland that I skipped the details (I've now added a link to a hike description). Like for me it is cool to see and read where people from other states hike, and how the views there differ from OR/WA :)

I have never seen anything like the air balloon.
Did you see it up close?
Does it has GPS/cool science gadgetry?

@ Nat
LOL:) Well I didn't get a good look, but it certainly proved that wind goes straight downward once past the ridge.
