Sketch done with Elegant Writer calligraphy pen with a water wash.
After parking my car in the gravel lot, I brought my camera and sketchbook and pens with me on the trail. I saw nice views of grasses, rows of trees, glimpses of Mount Hood and Vista House on the Oregon side, and ponds and lakes. The trail was nice, but long to get to the viewpoint I finally sketched. Not a great spot for pastel painting because my gear is pretty heavy, but maybe when I am ready to take oils on the road, I would consider the mile and a half hike to a painting locale.
Mount Hood in the distance and the glint on the far right midway point is Vista House.

You might try visiting in the summer time as well. The views are considerably different. It seems that each season has it's own perspectives.
