From Portland, drove to the Mount Bailey trailhead Saturday morning for a nice hike to the summit. A bit buggy but was a nice day for a hike. This was our warm-up for tomorrow’s Mount Thielsen climb. On the hike back from the summit we stopped at the Hemlock Butte Cabin. Looks like a nice place in the winter…

If you zoom in, you can see this is the rim of Crater Lake…
Looking back at some of Mount Bailey’s summit ridge…
Took a quick side trip to find the Hemlock Butte Cabin…looks like a great winter shelter.
Today’s route…
