Water up at paradise? I'm thinking of taking my family up there next week. Sorry for the late answer on this - it's be...

Re: Bird Creek Meadows

I led a Mazama group there yesterday so it's possible you were one of the folks we met along the trail. It was a beautiful day up there and blissfully cool!

Re: South Cinder Peak (July 22, 2023)
