Tragedy On Mount Hood

I did not intend to post this earlier image taken on July 18, but I believe that recent news makes it highly relevant.

PORTLAND, Ore., Dec. 15 (UPI) -- Crews searching for two missing hikers on Oregon's Mount Hood faced a forecast of snow, harsh winds
and white-out conditions Tuesday, weather officials said. The body of a third hiker, 26-year-old Luke Gullberg, was found
Saturday. A state deputy medical examiner said Monday Gullberg died of hypothermia, KGW-TV, Portland, reported.

One must always respect nature, even when things seem calm, they can change so quickly. A very sad ending for the hikers. Beautiful shot of the mountains.

Very sad story Jay, the mountain is still there for others to enjoy, hopefully without tragic results. V

A tragic ending and one that is all too often recorded in the Cascades. Mountains are wild and unpredictable places.
Lovely image Jay but sad tale....

Oh, this saddens me. A friend of mine's little brother died up there too a few years ago. Beautiful image but can be so dangerous!
