Family Backpacking Trip to Wasco Lake

Three Finger Jack from Canyon Creek Meadows

This past weekend we backpacked into the Mt Jefferson wilderness, near Three Finger Jack. I had never been to Canyon Creek Meadows and we wanted to get William out on a trail, so off we went with another family. This was a milestone of sorts, as William carried all of his own gear for the first time. It was a beautiful weekend, after a shower on Friday afternoon. Canyon Creek Meadows were well worth the trip. A high cirque lake below Three Finger Jack was a beautiful surprise. It definitely felt like fall was approaching with the cool, crisp mornings. A nice weekend.
