7 miles of hiking • 1500' elevation gain •
No school on my hiking day, so my friend and I brought the kids along. You can still drive to Wahtum Lake, and no snow on any of the summits around here except Hood. We did a nice loop around Wahtum Lake using several of sometimes confusing network of trails. Nice and quiet. Views limited, but fall colors and mushrooms made up for it and helped keep kids engaged.
