Park Butte — Sunday, Aug. 24, 2025

Just wanted to mention that there's a new stream that popped up on this hike. Did it last year about this time and there's a part of the hike that historically has just been a boulder/rock field to cross but this year there was a stream over most of it. Easy to cross early in the day (like 9am) especially with water proof boots, but coming back it was raging. The only way to get across without having to go WAY up the rocks was to go through. We weren't the only ones struggling to find a way across while keeping your feet dry. So HIGHLY recommend poles and water proof shoes! I only took pics on the way out, forgot on the way back bc I was concentrating so hard on making it across without falling!
