A hike with the Prime Timers from the White River Snow-Park to Timberline Lodge.
We followed a trail up the White River Cannon until we came to the Timberline Trail. We took the Timberline Trail up to where it joins with the PCT and continued on to Timberline Lodge. We tried to blend in with paying guess and had our lunch on the patio. Then it was time to head back on the PCT that we took until it crossed the Yellowjacket Trail. We took the unmaintained Yellowjacket trail back to the parking lot. By the GPS that hike was 8.3 miles long with 1900 Elevation Gain.
A hike from Timberline Lodge to Paradise Park. It was a sunny day that got hot in the afternoon. Haze from wildfire smoke blocked the views. Lots of wildflowers. Other hikers were nice. The numbers – 13 1/4 miles, 3250 Total elevation gain, 8 3/4 hours on the trail with 2 hrs of that talking to people and taking photos.
