We had something of a flexivacation this year. I previously mentioned how we couldn’t go to Jasper as originally planned. Our last couple of nights were supposed to be in Winthrop, Washington for us to explore North Cascades National Park. Alas, wildfires once again got in the way, closing Highway 20. We cancelled our reservations and made last minute arrangements for a couple of nights on Whidbey Island where today’s photo was taken.
Mt. Rainier (left in the distance) and Mount Saint Helens from Portland, Oregon (May 31, 2024)
This past Friday, as we were heading up I-5 into Portland, Mt. Hood was in full view. A bit later, we could see Mount St. Helens too which I don’t remember seeing from south of Portland before. Anyway, it was a very clear day so we went up to the Mt. Calvary Cemetery Loop for this photo.
