Hiked to Burnt Lake on Mt. Hood. Started out around 3:00 and ended around 7:00. Hiked around eight miles - four up and four down. Not the most exciting hike in the world, though perfectly pleasant. View of Mt. Hood from Burnt Lake was spectacular. There's a very nice campsite near the waterfalls on the way to the lake, though the trail is very popular and I expect the campsite gets taken early. It would be worth going on a weeknight to get that spot.
Physically, I did pretty well. We were going fairly fast. Feet were hurting by the end. Oh, and as usual lately I got my period just as we started the hike. I think this is the third time in a row that has happened. Luckily I had stashed the necessary supplies in Jeff's glove compartment!
