Wahkeena Falls to (Almost) Devil's Rest
6.5 miles of hiking • 2000' elevation gain •
I went as far as the rock lookout/viewpoint and turned back.
Dog Mountain (Augspurger Mountain attempt)
8 miles of hiking • 2750' elevation gain •
We tried to do Augspurger but the trail was too hard to follow so we turned back and did the Dog Mountain loop. There was a mean wind on the open trail, chips of ice and tiny hail were like razors on my face. Generally though, no rain or snow, and at the end there was some nice sun.
Hamilton Mountain
8 miles of hiking • 2000' elevation gain •
Slightly rainy hike, some snow at the top. We did the loop.
Wahclella & Upper McCord Creek Falls
5.5 miles of hiking • 1000' elevation gain •
Nice, easy hikes. Beautiful falls. It way rainy but not too muddy. Tried out a new GPS app, the EG seems too high.
Angel's Rest and Beyond
6.5 miles of hiking • 1500' elevation gain •
Stuck a 10 lb plate in my pack for conditioning and saw how close to Devil's Rest I could get in 2 hours. The 3.4 miles down took 1h 20m. There was some sun, overall a nice hike.
Eagle Creek to Twister Falls
12.5 miles of hiking • 1500' elevation gain •
It was icy and wet. But wow, what a spectacular hike!
Angel's Rest
4.5 miles of hiking • 1500' elevation gain •
My go-to hike in the gorge :) It was misty most of the way, cleared up when we got to Angel's Rest. Lots of traffic, which made for lots of muddy patches.
