I’m at the PCT trailhead at Santiam Pass and there is zero snow. I think I’m going to drive to a trailhead in the mountains on the northern side of the Jefferson Wilderness. A place I’ve never been to before. It’s lower elevation than here so should be fine. And the freezing temps in the morning should keep any ticks at bay. Still traumatized from that.

@andrewbriscoe Sounds like you’re having a great day! Yeah, your previous tick experience sounded horrible. Better luck on that this time.

@andrewbriscoe ...this all has great memories flooding back of a similar long weekend round I did back in 2019 (Little Crater Lake -> Smith Rock -> Bend -> Black Butte -> Santiam -> Detroit -> Breitenbush Lake Park Ridge hike...) Good times (and luckily no ticks)! :)
