7.5 miles of hiking • 2250' elevation gain •
Got 2 hours early from work to hike this forest loop, really nice warm weather (I've seen it colder in June), though very windy on Angels Rest. Was really nice to start with sun still out, though wished (again!) I had my GPS for back side trails in the dark. Going down the main trail I experimented going without flashlight, very doable with moon and light clouds, even under trees (though pretty slow). Very cool nightly views of Portland and suburbs in the distance, dark river framed with lights.
