Beautiful weather after the apocalyptic cold snap. Parked at a pullout along the main road and headed west. Lots of longhorns around Crater Lake made it impossible to park there. This area has beautiful hiking, but you have to follow elk trails the whole time. Very little elevation change but beautiful.
