Mt Jefferson - Sat March 4

Sat we braved the snow and winds to summit Mt Jefferson along with Youngbloodd (aka Charles) and LawnSale (aka Mark) via the Jewell trail. Arriving at the Cog parking lot we found 4 inches of fresh snow. FYI - the cog has changed there hours and the building is not open until 9 AM. We usually arrive at 7:30 and have not had any issues parking in the upper lot - we typicall park far to the left next to a bus that is parked there for the Winter.

Our Mt Jefferson Trip Report has been posted along with our photos on our web page.

WOW !!! Multi-Media and everything !
I felt like the snow was blowing out of my computer !
Nice work, excellent report !

great job - this is tough one to get in winter IMO - only one I haven't done in the white stuff (been turned back due to weather everytime)

probably ain't going to happen this year as running out of time - oh well.

I'm jealous -- not only the pix, but especially the videos, make it look like a blast of a hike! It makes me want to really tackle the winter NH4Ks!

Great Job!

Well done..Hiked that section many times but not in those conditions...

good job

Terrific photos and very impressive! Jefferson can be a monster on a nice warm day.

Great job and congrats on your accomplishments. Have always enjoyed your trip reports and general comments. You folks really know how to put the FUN in hiking. Hope to join you on one this year. Keep up the good work.

Nice report. Cool to see all that fluffy snow.

Wow! Pretty cool! A couple of comments:

How did you produce that 3-D trail map? Is it some sort of GPS software?

Now that would make an interesting set of post holes!

Tom - we use Maptech's Terrain Navigator Pro software which has a 3D view feature. It's particulary good for researching bushwhack routes.

You two are my hero's..not only do you totally go for it, but your trail info, gps maps, descriptions, pictures and now videos!!!!! are mind boggling..i can't even figure out how to manipulate a picture to make my own avatar...you two should offer hikes for the technology challenged.!! ctsparrow

Damm - wouldn't that be nice! No kids, but we both work very demanding jobs - getting out on the weekends is our stress relief :>

Nice T/R and Pics as always, Bobandgeri!
