On our way back to Seattle from Reno, Matt and I decided to spend a few days exploring the forests of southern Oregon. We hiked out from
Fish Lake and up the
Pacific Crest Trail for a bit in a beautiful winter wonderland.

The sun started to come out just as we rounded the bend to see this spectacular view of
Mount McLoughlin in the distance. You can see the mountain creating its own weather at the peak. This is a volcanic area, so there are lava fields everywhere. Some of the mountains have giant craters where the tops blew off thousands of years ago.
