| The trail to the summit. Quite imposing. |
 |
| Moraine Lake. |
 |
| The final push to the summit: Super steep switchbacks on sketchy scree. |
 |
| Took an hour nap after this picture. Nice view of Middle Sister, North Sister and Mt. Hood way in the distance. |

 |
| Nice view of Broken Top. |

| The summit after an hour of descent. The clouds are engulfing the entire peak! |
Before leaving Bend I absolutely had to hike at least one of the mountains nearby. South Sister is popular and provides a solid challenge. 12 miles roundtrip with the summit being over 10,000 feet. Incredible views the entire way. Made it up in 3 hours and down in 2 (with an hour nap at the summit). Such a beautiful hike! I then went out with the guys to celebrate my last night in Bend. Currently on my way to Portland and eventually north to Canada. Bend, I'll be coming back to you for sure!
