Also, any recommendations on places to eat dinner in Bend? :)

Hey I saw this guy by the road on the drive up to Paradise. Does anyone know if this is a fox specific to the NW, or is it just an ordinary fox? Is it normal to see these guys out and about? Thanks.

Anyone been up there in that last couple weeks?

Anyone looking to get out or have a group that could entertain another person on the first weekend of July? Adams, Hood, etc standard route type of climb?

I have an upcoming week long trip to the Seattle area. It looks like I may be alone, so my Rainier plans might be hosed.

Where should I go if I'm partner-less? What peaks are resonabke solos? I have no interest in glacier travel or technical climbing solo, but class 3/4 hiking and steep snow is great. I love scrambling, neve snow, big views, and remote places. Long approaches (multi-day climbs) are fine.


Mt. Adams ...
