Photos from Elk Cove Trail, Mt. Hood

Elk Cove Trail on Mt. Hood, I was planning on a loop hike up past the Elk Cove campsite continue around and back down past The Pinnacle. Unfortunately, I ran into snow about a mile from the Elk Cove camp and after talking to fellow hikers learned that the return trail I was looking to take was nearly impassible. I decided that it wasn’t meant to be and turned around, vowing to go back in a month when the snow has melted.
