Nature's Paintbrush


Mike, a fellow Wildersness Steward, and I hiked to Burnt Lake today...covering ~ 8 miles and about 2,200 feet in elevation gain. We saw snow, "camp robbers," "skunk cabbage," and of course Burnt Lake...a little drop from heaven about 70 miles from Portland at the base of Mt Hood. Pictured here is Indian's Paintbrush, one of the many types of flora you will find in the Mt Hood Wilderness. Remember you can look, but please leave the land in its natural state to preserve it for future generations.
