Me and My Youngest Son On Top at Sunrise
Well, we’re getting pretty excited! The scout troop at church is going on a 50-mile backpacking trip and I’m going along with two of my sons.
We’re headed for Mt. Adams, Mt. St. Helens area.
To prepare for the trip, I’ve been ascending Badger Mountain a lot. I just got back from a twilight hike with wonderful temperatures and a beautiful moon.

We’ve been squeezing our hikes into whatever time we can find and the views are a great reward as we see vibrant colors highlighted by the warm color temperatures of early morning or late evening.

One of the greatest things about getting ready for the 50-miler is spending time hiking with my sons. We’ll also be together on the big trip and the excitement is mounting for all of us.
