Mt. Jefferson Wilderness

Marion Lake
Temple Lake
Last weekend I went camping at Temple Lake in the Mt. Jefferson Wilderness. Temple Lake is southwest of Mt. Jefferson and near Marion Lake. The weather was excellent, just the right temperature and clear. The area has experienced two large wildfires in the last decade, the B & B fire in 2003 and the Puzzle fire in 2006. We climbed to the top of Marion Mountain and had a beautiful panoramic view from Mt. Jefferson to Three Fingered Jack.  The gray areas of trees are the burned areas.
