Larch Mountain Backpacking - Oregon, United States

Larch Mountain Backpacking




We started on Friday around 7 pm and keep walking until the sun set around 8.10. Found a nice camping spot next to the river and setup the tents. Thanks to the tall trees and no moon, the camp site was pitch black making it a different experience. Had our dinner and went to sleep around 10.30 pm. Woke up at 4.30, had breakfast and started walking up. The weather and the trail were nice. There was snow after 3500 ft but it was okay. We reached the Sherard's point at Larch Mountain at 8.30 am. The view was worth the climb. Except Mt. Rainier, all major mountains were visible (Mt. Hood, Mt. Jefferson, Mt. St. Helens and Mt. St Adams)
