Just a few snapshots from my backpacking trip to Mt. Adams last weekend. I went with my dad and brother who are serious backpackers (they hiked the A.T. for 4 months a few years back). We cooked on tuna fish can stoves and slept under tarps! Mt. Adams was gorgeous! While some areas were dry and rugged, there were also fields of wild lupine and asters, bubbling brooks, mossy rocks, and an enchanting lake. I am not ready to let go of summer quite yet.
Photos taken with my disposable camera.

How beautiful! Kind of reminds me of Three Creek Lake in Oregon. I miss hiking. (Bridges over a canal don't count, do they?)

This just goes to show that good photographs have a lot to do with the person taking the photo and not just the camera. Love them.

Film is not dead!
Looks like an amazing hike. Your dad & brother are intense!
I'm also hoping for some camping in the near future. I wish there were mountains nearby, but I'll make do with a lake. :)
