The penstemon is quite showy...nice photo Lisa. And the views are spectacular. Great hiking day...thanks for sharing!

Plus the elevation and thin air caused me to need to stop several times just to rest and catch my breath. But the view from the peak was well worth every difficult moment, as I am sure your summit of Black Butte was as well. Good going and beautiful photos!Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15572905521059358017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5213114113819017671.post-75994340927669781072017-06-10T22:27:00.558-07:002017-06-10T22:27:00.558-07:00Wow, what a great hike!

I don't like the combination of loose rock and sheer drop offs. So thanks for doing it for us! We do love hiking Mt. Eddy, though, and have done that many times. But it has to be July before the snow melts enough to get there. Great photos!Laurel (www.ravenandchickadee.com)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09133248112440273123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5213114113819017671.post-58285444413537421902017-06-10T20:22:45.786-07:002017-06-10T20:22:45.786-07:00I know you would!

Yes, coming back down rocky areas with little trail on a steep slope are really scary. Glad you made it safely. Those spectacular views make for lots of rest stops climbing up which we appreciated:)John and Pam (ohtheplacestheygo.wordpress.com)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10853924678665624403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5213114113819017671.post-62729944441812409912017-06-10T08:47:36.775-07:002017-06-10T08:47:36.775-07:00We loved that hike!

What's funny is we thought the elevation gain would be the big challenge, but that was the easiest part! Glad you made it, and we agree, don't think we would ever attempt it again.Jim and Gaylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13982110996137470496noreply@blogger.com
