Not a lot of excitement around Mt Jefferson, here are some pictures though.
I stopped for a break by a little stream and when I got up a young bear jumped down onto the trail about 25 feet in front of me. It wasn't much bigger than a large dog. It looked over its shoulder at me for a second before running up the trail. You can see it as a black shape on the trail in this picture. I need to get faster at pulling out my camera if I hope to get a decent picture of one someday.
I guess what is so beautiful about the Cascades is that they emerge as individual peaks along the landscape. They seem to say - "Hey, look at me sticking up here all by myself. I'm spectacular!"
