Mt Bachelor in the Smoke Clouds

VISIBLE (PUBLISHED)

Mt Bachelor Visit for Sunday 08/27/23
Mt Bachelor in Central Oregon, just outside of the town of Bend. Hiked on Sunday 08/27/2023...

Fine hike only clouded by fire smoke which grew heavier as the day wore on and negatively impacted breathing. As I got closer to the Summit the smoke grew thick and looked like rain clouds but the Summit was thankfully above most of the air contamination and was fairly "clean". This made for our now infamous red sunsets...

Post hike I had to rest up because the smoke really took the wind out of my sails.
