Newton Creek Canyon Loop

8 miles of hiking • 2000' elevation gain •

Snowshoed in from Hood River Meadows. Followed the Elk Meadows trail to the Newton Creek junction, and were pretty much off-trail from there on. We followed the canyon, or actually the ridge directly west of it, to the Timberline Trail. From there, traversed over to the next ridge to our west, and climbed up that to a nice lunchspot view above the trees. Then it was just a bomb on down the ridgeline back to the Clark Creek bridge on the Elk Meadows trail. Heckuva great day! Snowshoes absolutely required.
