Mt Jefferson - Sat March 4

[bobandgeri]

Sat we braved the snow and winds to summit Mt Jefferson along with Youngbloodd (aka Charles) and LawnSale (aka Mark) via the Jewell trail. Arriving at the Cog parking lot we found 4 inches of fresh snow. FYI - the cog has changed there hours and the building is not open until 9 AM. We usually arrive at 7:30 and have not had any issues parking in the upper lot - we typicall park far to the left next to a bus that is parked there for the Winter.

Our Mt Jefferson Trip Report has been posted along with our photos on our web page.

great job - this is tough one to get in winter IMO - only one I haven't done in the white stuff (been turned back due to weather everytime)

probably ain't going to happen this year as running out of time - oh well.

I'm jealous -- not only the pix, but especially the videos, make it look like a blast of a hike! It makes me want to really tackle the winter NH4Ks!

Wow! Pretty cool! A couple of comments:

How did you produce that 3-D trail map? Is it some sort of GPS software?

Now that would make an interesting set of post holes!

 

[bobandgeri]

Tom - we use Maptech's Terrain Navigator Pro software which has a 3D view feature. It's particulary good for researching bushwhack routes.

Damm - wouldn't that be nice! No kids, but we both work very demanding jobs - getting out on the weekends is our stress relief :>
