Needed to get some elevation this weekend, and only had the first half of Sunday to get it done. Five of us met at the Starvation Creek trailhead at 7:00am, for the Mount Defiance Loop hike. Tagged the summit at 10:15am, and was back down to the truck by 12:15pm….just before the hard rains showed up. Strong group, Myself, Deb Chris, Rob, and JJ.
Half hour from the trailhead, early morning light mixed with thick clouds…
Looking north, across the Columbia River, at Dog Mountain…
Summit of Mount Defiance…and the cell tower 🙁
The view from the summit…
