Should have been five stars.
Smoke hung over everything all day. Where glaciers and ridges should have been, just haze and the odd silhouette of a mountain. A tour group caught us near the summit and offered snacks and encouragement. The descent was fun, and Mazama had the brewery, inn, and charming general store we needed.
