My hike began at 4 a.m. I left my house at 3:30 a.m. so I could make the top in time for Sunrise! and man oh man was it worth it! the beginning and about 70% of the way in is pretty steep but if you're not prepared, taking a few breaks to catch a breath isn't bad! It was slightly chilly to start (38 degrees) so make sure you wear some layers. Bring water. Bring Snacks. And I HIGHLY suggest trying to get the sunrise on this bad boy! I also did a full write up and a gallery of 60+ pics here if you're interested. And there is a bit of a Prince song interlude. Don't ask…

Beautiful pictures! Love the sunrise!
Thanks Donna! It was absolutely gorgeous!
Great photos, @oddzuki! We are planning to hike Paulina Peak on Thursday, but won’t make it for sunrise (we’re coming home from a road trip). Next time!
Thanks Jeff. I’m still trying to figure out if I’m doing Black Butte, Tumalo Mountain or Bachelor next. I’m still giving South Sisters the Side Eye treatment though..
