The Park Butte Lookout is a great dayhike destination this time of year. With the fresh snowfall this week, it was on the verge of snowshoe terrain after the trail broke out of the trees. There were a number of parties I encountered on the way up and down.
Unfortunately clouds hung around the mountain summits, but the frozen dew droplets on the plants in Scriebers Meadows made up for the lack of views.
SNOW REPORT: There was a bit of snow on the last quarter mile of road before the parking lot, but most had melted by the end of the day. Snow on the trail from the trailhead. Will be snowshoe terrain after another good snowfall.
(I left my MSR Water bladder in the hut, if anyone happened to pick it up, I'd love to get it back. Please email me at sabegg@gmail.com. Thanks!)

I use a Canon 50D with a 10-22mm lens for my wide angle photography. It's a great set-up for the Canon cameras that have the focal length multiplier. If you have a full-frame Canon, then the 17-40 and the 16-35 would be the top choices. Wide angle is certainly fun.

I'll look into the 10-22. Hey, really enjoy your images. So much so that I found your website to see if you posted more. I enjoyed those too. And being a climber, yeah, great way to get some amazing image material. I kind of understand your photography. I too can't separate my photography from my hiking.
Thanks for the info on the lens!
And thanks for the the enjoyable images!!
