Karl went hiking January 8, 2016 16.5 miles 4,500 feet gained
Picked an awesome day to trek up to Sherrard Point from Multnomah Falls with Mountainkat. Ice on the trail, even below the Benson Bridge, kept all the tourists at bay. Saw just one fellow along the way going up, three couples arrived from the snow gate while we were on the summit, and then nobody again until we hit the paved trail near the bottom going down.
Conditions were perfect! The trail was well trampled, so we ended up carrying our snowshoes the entire way, using only microspikes instead. Temps were in the high-30s under bluebird conditions, with barely a breeze even up top. Really couldn't have been a much nicer day. :-)
