McIntyre Ridge Trail_Salmon-Huckleberry Wilderness

It was a beautiful, sunny day, yet winter still held its grip, with snow blanketing everything. Naturally, we encountered a poor driver who didn’t quite know how to maneuver on ice, slowly slipping down a hill and heading straight for us. No worries, though—we managed it well, with a fair bit of anger management practice.

Did I mention it was sunny but still snowy? Because, of course, it’s winter. As we continued, we spotted some young men wearing shorts and T-shirts. Hopefully, they weren’t far from their car!

The trail was covered in snow, which thrilled Juneau, my Boston Terrier, to no end. She sniffed and walked ahead, but always kept her distance, regularly turning back to make sure I was “following” her properly. How lucky we are to have been chosen by her.

We met many people and dogs along the trail—a little one carried by their mom, and even a big one carried by mom, too! The big dog, possibly even larger than the mom herself, had hurt its paw and refused to finish the hike. But the determined, mighty mom decided to carry her, and she did.

It was just a simple, sunny day in the snow. Everyone was happy, enjoying their time in the magical white dust. A typical lovely winter day in Oregon.
