From Songer Butte Trail, looking back to Emigrant Lake (March 2024)

A short, but steep, hike near Ashland, Songer Butte is the kind of trail you do once for the views (from the top is even better).

Snow falling from an evergreen tree (Ashland, Oregon – January 11, 2024)

…this happened. Ever since it’s been relatively warm (for January — highs in the 50s and very few nights below 35). For the rest of the month, we aren’t supposed to see the 30s, and highs are supposed to be around 60 degrees. Looks like January is the new March.

Mount McLoughlin (January 1, 2024)

Mount McLoughlin usually has much more snow on it in early January, but less than a week ago it looked like this. Alas, yesterday’s snow storm likely gave it a thick winter blanket.
