Spencer Butte

Last weekend we took a hike up to the top of Spencer Butte, a short-but-steep hike that starts just a short drive from our apartment.

It had been cold, cloudy, and even snowy since our return from California, but this day was mostly clear and sunny so we decided to take advantage! We hadn’t been up the Butte for quite some time, I think more than a year.

Here you can see the view from the top, looking north-ish toward town. Autzen stadium, aka the Duck Pond, is prominently featured just below-right of center:

    Wow beautiful! Sounds like fun I wish I could have hiked it with you.

    […] I wonder what it’s like at the top this week? I guess it’s probably not possible to hike up there when there’s so much snow. Or maybe the trees shelter the trail? […]
