Youngs Rock and Moon Point day hike
Dry meadow on way up to Youngs Rock |
Alan and I picked one of the warmest days in weeks to climb 3,000 feet, six miles up a south facing ridge to Youngs Rock and Moon Point above the Middle Fork Willamette River. It was well worth it though, a very interesting and diverse hike with absolutely nobody else around. I love the solitude and exploring a new place. Great way to spend a Friday off from work.
