Summer Bummer

This summer we thought it would be a good idea to go on a family backpacking trip in Steens mountain. The weather report said there was a 20% chance of light flurries with little to no accumulation. The first day was quite lovely and so was the next day until about 3:00 pm. Then, about a quarter of a mile up a 1200 ft high canyon wall headwall, we got caught in a blizzard. After a cold, arduous day we went to bed, tried not to freeze to death and then woke up to another cold arduous morning, which later turned into a beautiful day. Then we went home, a day early, because we were miserable.
