On Friday the 26th, on our way home from Eagle Crest Resort, we took US 2o and 22 from Redmond to Salem, where we picked up I-5 to Portland. We saw some beautiful pine and cedar forests and captivating views of Mt. Washington and a glimps of Mt. Jefferson (couldn't get photos - no scenic view points and trees were too tall). At the view point for Mt. Washington, there were also informational signs regarding devastating forest fires in 2002 and 2003. These photos are of Mt. Washington. I tried to capture some of the damage from the fires in the video below. The burned areas went on and on for miles and miles.
