Oregon hiking shots

Here's a small collection of some photos from assorted hikes I've done in about the last six months or so. Enjoy 
Larch Mountain:
My dog next to two large Western hemlocks, one is dead: 
About to enter a beautiful three-mile stand of old-growth:
It had been raining so much for the last couple weeks that about two miles of the trail was a temporary creek 
Pretty forest and a stream:
All the creeks were running pretty strong since snow is melting and it had been raining for the last week or so straight, so I stupidly decided to cross this creek with my camera in hand and stepped on a slippery log, slipped, and fell in. I managed to stay perfectly dry but the camera seemed to be a goner at first since after a couple minutes it stopped working completely. I took it home and set it by the woodstove for a couple nights, tried it again, and it worked - albeit with a little water in the lens. I wrapped it in a heating pad for a couple days and it all evaporated and now works perfect again. I guess I got lucky.  A few seconds after I fell in (testing the camera to see if it still worked) 
Old Salmon River trail, Mt Hood
My mother and dog next to a large fir 
Mossy bigleaf maples:

Bigleaf maple and the Salmon River 
Massive (7ft diameter) western red-cedar 
The river forks and goes around an island  Random trail scenes
 
Same trail but in early March and with snow:
