Trillium Lake, Mt. Hood; Snowless February 2015

Trillium Lake is generally a snowshoeing trail this time of year, but it has been a crazy warm/dry year in the PNW, so although it was a bit soggy out today, the road to Trillium, although closed to vehicular traffic, was almost comletely snow-free. It's a quick 2 miles (or so) from the gate to the lake. There is also a 1.9 mile loop around the lake which we have done before, but didn't have the daylight to do it this time.

We took a quick trip out to Trillium Lake around Thanksgiving, so we could get a loop in before they closed the access road. The road was real icy, but we were able to get in/out with no real problems. We lucked out on a real nice day, so we took the opportunity to take some photos for our xmas cards. Great day! We did the one mile loop around, which I've never actually done. Here's a few I-Phone shots. (Speaking of which, the resolution of these Iphone photos looks terrible on the web...will start lugging SLR around)
