4T: Train, trail, tram, trolley. For something different we met friends downtown and took the Max train to the Zoo where we caught the trail to Council Crest, hiked to OHSU's tram, and took the trolley back into downtown.

Ski up "Ramona Falls Road"
7.5 miles of hiking • 0' elevation gain •
Parked at the bridge (it is gated here) over the Muddy Fork of the Sandy and skied up to the Ramona Falls TH and then another mile up the Ramona Falls trail. We were the first ones on the trail and the snow was perfect for skiing. Passed two groups who were heading up to the falls and then another three skiing groups. The wind was surprisingly calm and temps in the 20s. Snow and winds picked up as we were returning to the bridge. All in all one of the best skis we have had.

Tillamook Head National Recreation Trail
8 miles of hiking • 0' elevation gain •
Wanted to avoid the subzero windchill in the mountains so headed to the relatively balmy coast. Hiked 7.0 miles RT starting from Seaside, a little short of the camp / WWII bunker. The trail was really thrashed from recent storms with lots of blow down and two major landslides. Other than bushwhacking through two blown down areas the trail was not terribly difficult with easy routes around the slides. Some filtered views but nothing spectacular, IMO.
