5.5 miles of hiking • 500' elevation gain •

Another first (for me). I've learned there's an inverse law that governs over The Gorge -- the worse the weather, the more beautiful the scenery. Not sure if that applies to ice, though. Anyhow, I'd hoped to do a MSH summit trip yesterday but with the looming crazy forecast, I abandoned that plan -- glad I did considering the lightning and sleet/rain/hail -- and headed on a road trip down I-84. I haven't hiked the Gorge on that side of the river east of Horsetail falls so this was really just a plan to scout out the trailheads for the future. And the bucket just keeps getting fuller and fuller...
