This was hike with Lori and Merlyn to Palmateer Point and a great view of Mt. Hood. We had a blue bird day with mild temperature and no smoke. We had some fall color and more mushrooms.
This was a lollipop hike at 7.5 miles and 1100 elevation gain. We left out of the Barlow Snowpark on the PCT. We switch off on the the Palmateer Point trail to then use a connector trail to get to the Twin Lake Trail. The Twin Lake trail would take us back to the PCT and back to the car. After the hike we went to Smokey Hearth for for lunch.
