We drove around through the forest between Camp Sherman, Sisters, and the closed gate on the McKenzie Pass Highway looking for a decent spot to spend the night. Higher up, there was quite a bit of snow on the ground.
There were some really cool views like this one of Black Butte.
Storm clouds kept churning around us and we didn’t want to end up setting up a tent in the rain.
In the end we ended up back down at Cold Spring Campground for the evening. We found a nice spot that was fairly secluded to setup our stuff.

The peak on Black Butte is incredible. Gorgeous pictures.
Black Butte isn’t even that big of a mountain! There are some much larger volcanic peaks nearby.
