Mount Washington (left) as seen from summit of Belknap Crater (right).
Both are volcanoes in the McKenzie Pass area of Oregon.
Belknap last erupted in 480 CE.
Washington a long time ago. So long that the soft slopes were pushed aside by glaciers during past ice ages. Leaving the peaked hard core that you see above.

Looking north while hiking along Tam McArthur Rim in central Oregon.

Mount Jefferson (volcano) is the peak in the middle poking above the horizon.

The low level haze is a mix of morning fog and forest fire smoke.

Should I go straight towards Mount Hood?
Left to Canada?
Or right to Mexico?
How many hours of daylight remain?

I chose to head towards Mexico.
Bizarrely, after walking about 1/4th of a mile towards Mexico, there was another one of these signs, and despite walking away from Canada, the mileage had dropped to 548.

Sunset over Crescent Village (shops and apartments in Eugene, Oregon).

The extra colorful sunset is not Photoshop Juice.
Rather it is from airborne ash from the Kasatochi volcano in Alaska that erupted 2008-Aug-7.
This photo was taken one week later.
