This last weekend my friend Chris and I took a backpacking trip to Jefferson Park Jefferson Park Mount Jefferson (10,497 ft) within the Mt. Jefferson Wilderness.
Several lakes dot the area, as well as a plethora of meadows and streams. Each area has its own unique scenery. We timed it just right as the wildflowers were at their peak.
Dawn and I went there last year but were driven away by the mosquitoes. They were not as bad this time, possibly due to the constant breeze, plus I had my arsenal of DEET and permithrin.
The weather cooperated with absolutely clear blues skies, which you will see allowed for some great photography.
Total mileage: 27+
Total elevation gain: 4,500 ft
Here is a link to some pictures from the Jefferson Park
Enjoy!
