funny thing about side trips lots of hikers miss a turn in the trail and take a few unplanned side trips each year.........

Oh, and my goodness don't bypass Little Crater

is south of Mt. Hood and north of Ollallie Lake.  It's not more than
1/4-1/3 mile off the PCT so it is barely a side-trip, but I guess I could
see heads-down border-bound or busters bypassing it without thinking to
stop. It is simply *AMAZING*.  If you're really really brave, jump in for a
*very* quick dip.
