Here's a few pic's of a loop my fiance, dog,and I did last weekend in the Mt Jefferson Wilderness. It's only a 65 mile drive from our house in Bend to the TH,so it's a perfect quick getaway. The loop consited of starting our hike at the Pamelia Lake TH. We then connected with the Hunt's Creek Trail after 2.3 miles and headed south 6 miles to the junction with the PCT. Once we reached the junction with the PCT, we hiked Northbound 5 miles back to the Hunt's Creek Trail, leaving a final 2.8 miles back to the car. Not a big mileage trip, but had a wonderful time. This was our first night using the Squall 2, and it was amazing! Zero condensation issues, easy setup, stayed taut all night with just a minor adjustment on the tensioners before bed. The both of us slept like babies in this UL castle, and still had room for the dog and our gear. Im 5'10 and She's 5'8 for reference.
