Hiking to Mirror Lake to see Mt Hood in its all magnificence is good 1.5 mile hike, all up the hill. I thought it was longer than that, just because it was so long and exhausting. This hike will cross a small mountain creek, probably the same one, in two places. First is right at the beginning of it and another one before you get to the Mirror Lake. This photo is from the second place.
Hi there! Nice shot. Reminds me of one of mine (http://www.fredbeaupre.com/Other/HDR/12941778_evtTN#954536053_pV6ed).
