11.4 miles of hiking • 1750' elevation gain •
Gorgeous day with nobody seen the entire day except for the last mile of the hike, and then a huge number of people. The parking are was full when we returned! We hiked down Multnomah Basin Rd. and intersected the Larch Mt. Trail. We ended up roaming around, and intersected the Franklin Ridge Trail. We also made a small loop of the Highwater trail and the low water trail. It certainly helped that no people were hiking up from Multnomah Falls as we saw no people on the Larch Mt. Trail. We bumped into Jeff (Peabody) and his wife, from PH'ers, and had a nice talk!
