It’s true. You can already see some smoke in this picture. About an hour later it started to become much worse.
There are fires in Oregon to the south, and fires in Canada to the north. Someone said we were likely seeing smoke from the South today, but maybe a bit of both, and since winds died down it just settled in the valley. It’s obscured views through the afternoon and into the night. Hopefully clears up by morning
I’m curious what trail this is. My wife and I recently moved to the area, but have mostly gone exploring along the coast. It would be good to strike out toward Mount Hood at some point.
Correct! This was actually not the summit, but a few bluffs west of there. Anyone who wants to get here should take the mirror lake trail and follow signs for Tom, Dick, and Harry.
At this particular spot was a rounded out rock which made for the comfiest natural seating I’ve come across yet! 😁
