Hardy Ridge

Perfect weather, fresh snow from the night before, unbelievable sunset! Judging by the tracks I was alone on Hardy yesterday, and probably just 1 person the day before. Decided to not do a loop in the dark, and return back on a more tracked trail on west side.

Epic sunset, with that ocean of clouds, up there... Wow!!!

Thanks! The photos don't really do it justice - the clouds were constantly "flowing", running on and off ridges, like slow-motion waves. Was very cool to just stay there and watch.

Hi Roman - I am in the process of posting some Mt. Hood area trails on www.hikingproject.com, a free trail guide website, including Veda Lake. I would like to use some of your photos - giving you photo credit of course. If that is ok, please let me know photo credit name to use. Thanks very much!
