Owl Point & Old Vista Ridge (Oct 19)

[bobcat]

The deep pit on Burnt Granite is the only one I've seen like these. In this trip report, I link to an account by one individual (who had never hiked anywhere in Oregon before) that saw a family of sasquatch creating it!

The weird white dripping fungus that shows itself around this time of year on dead conifers is Hericium abietis.

Thanks, Bobcat!

Re: burnt granite sasquatch account TR,

Ah yes, it was bobcat, not splintercat!

Thanks, Bobcat!

What, no classic shot from the road near the trailhead with the colorful vine maple and the mountain?

I thought about it, Cheryl! But the leaves are pretty much off those vine maples already... and Mt. Hood was being shy at about that time, too... next year!
