Another James Parsons photo of Mt. Jefferson taken from Park Ridge (6,920').

Jefferson Park by Dave Baugher.

The Jefferson Park and Park Ridge area is one of the most spectacularly beautiful stops along the entirety of the PCT. With iconic views of Mt. Jefferson (Oregon’s second tallest peak), alpine lakes and abundant wildflowers, this relatively flat plateau on the northwest side of 10,495-foot tall Mt. Jefferson with its five prominent glaciers (Whitewater, Waldo, Milk Creek, Russell and Jefferson Park), Jefferson Park is very heavily used.

We all think that everyone else lives in fortresses, in fastnesses: behind moats, behind sheer walls studded with spikes and broken glass. But in fact we inhabit much punier structures. We are, it turns out, all jerry-built. Or not even. You can just stick your head under the flap of the tent and crawl right in. If you get the OK. - Martin Amis, Time’s Arrow Sunbeams, July 2020
