June 24, 2012 Roman Reed Island 4.5 miles 1,750 feet gained
It's been wonderful afternoon hike with plenty of scrambling and views. Due to time constraints I didn't do the whole loop, just explored the west side of Ar-Rock Complex. "Hanging meadows" there are gorgeous, flowers are going great, and there are some wild strawberries as well!

First backpacking trip ever! It's not that I've been avoiding it, in fact I've been collecting backcountry gear for 5+ years (to the point where I've starting upgrading gear). The issue was always finding someone to go with. So when I told a friend I was coming down to Central CA for a few days and I wanted to backpack the Sierras, we threw together a quick ...

June 22, 2012 Jen Huckleberry Lake 3 miles 250 feet gained
I t was a dreary day, and I was tired and sore from climbing Middle Sister, but I was in the area with some time to spare, and McKenzie Pass had just opened. So for kicks, I drove on up and wandered cross country in the lava lands to Huckleberry Lake to find a geocache.

June 22 to June 25, 2012 Kyle Meyer Bull of the Woods 30 miles 5,500 feet gained 3 nights
Awesome restorative trip into Bull of the Woods. It poured rain halfway into the first day until the morning of day three. My feet may have never dried out, but we saw some beautiful wilderness, witnessed the recent fire's destruction first hand, and finally had a dry night with a fire on night three. Go *now* and see the bear grass and rhododendrons—they ar...

June 20 to June 21, 2012 Jen Middle Sister 13.5 miles 4,750 feet gained 1 night
I did this trip with the Mazamas on the longest day of the year. It was a perfect weather window. We started at the Pole Creek trailhead and took the Pole Creek Trail to the Chambers Lakes Trail, then headed off cross country towards the east flank of the mountain. We found a perfect snow free tree island to make camp, with nearby stream for water- approx 68...
June 20 to June 21, 2012 Bosterson Tanner Butte 19 miles 4,750 feet gained 1 night
Ran up to Tanner Butte after work though unfortunately arrived on the summit around 9:30pm, just too late to really catch the sunset. Bivied down below the lookout point in some trees and woke up at 4:30am for the sunrise, then ran back down, drove back to Portland, and was at work by 10!
June 20, 2012 Stacey Council Crest 4.5 miles 500 feet gained
To celebrate summer solstice, I hiked the 4T trail (4T - trail, tram, trolley and train) after work with a co-worker. Started at the Oregon Zoo around 6pm. The trail is very well marked. Made it up to Council Crest at 6:30pm, where we sat down for a potluck dinner. We headed down the trail to OHSU at 7:45pm and got to the aerial tram at 8:45pm. The view from...
June 19, 2012 Jen Upper Chush Falls 5.5 miles 1,000 feet gained
I got to the Sisters in the late afternoon, but had some time to do a little exploring. I visited three waterfalls on the Upper Whychus Creek drainage, and the Trout Creek Butee lookout tower off Pole Creek Rd.
June 19, 2012 Shane Nesmith Point 10 miles 3,750 feet gained
It was rainy. Found a salamander/ orange-bellied lizard of some kind. Jon and I were attacked by an angry hen. We reached the top, and views were obscured by the clouds. Caught some good sights on the way down. It was a successful day.

xposted from cc.com Date: 6/17/2012 Trip Report: figured I'd throw my hat in the TR contest: my usual suspects had other plans this weekend. So I ended up wrangling a plan with two folks via cc.com that I hadn't met before. One local and the other on an extended rock/snow/ski/paddling adventure of cali/bc/or/wa/ and now AK before school in the fall. Based on...

Lake Tahoe, went up to lost lake, and wandered around the mountains. Was a much longer hike than we anticipated, and there were plenty of bugs flying around. But the views were well worth it.
June 16 to June 18, 2012 Nat Turner 7.5 miles 500 feet gained 2 nights
Great place to stop Midway through the drive to Utah. Free Camping, off the beaten path, and they have owls and a balanced rock. it's kinda cool. 40ft at the top, 3 ft x 17 inch base.

June 16, 2012 Father Guido Sarducci Greenwater Lakes 12 miles 2,000 feet gained
A bit a patchy snow about 1 mile up from the Echo and Lost lake cut offs. Very light traffic once you get clear of Greenwater Lakes. Had both Quinn and Lost Lakes to my self.
June 16, 2012 Bosterson Tanner Butte 20 miles 5,500 feet gained
Started Eagle Creek TH @ 6am. Hiked to 4 1/2 mile bridge, then turned right and went up a ridge to the Tanner Butte trail, covering 3.5 miles of off trail ridge in 5.5 hours. Sketchy climbing, game trails, and lots of brush. Once we regained the trail, we scampered up to Tanner Butte and had chilled wine on the summit (not kidding), then hoofed it back down ...

June 10, 2012 jon Todd 8 miles 2,000 feet gained
My original plan was to get a panorama from the top of Tumalo Mountain. Unfortunately, the weather was not helping at all, and the summit was completely socked in with clouds. We later did some snowshoeing where I was able to get separate photos of Broken Top and South Sister. A larger version [here](http://gigapan.com/gigapans/107616). <iframe src="http://w...
June 10, 2012 Shane Wall Lake 6 miles 1,250 feet gained
We decided to hit this hike up on the way home from a weekend near Bend.The plan was to do Potato Butte, but the conditions had other ideas. The snow starts on this hike around Red Lake. It's hard packed and melting, so you only punch through once in a while. The trail is a mess though, more of a creek or a bog than a trail in some places. Red Lake and Averi...
June 10, 2012 Roman Carpenters Lake 6 miles 2,500 feet gained
Easy hike on a less-traveled trail to summit meadows on Cedar Mtn, this time with my Mom. We skipped a steep side trip to Cedar Falls but otherwise did the same loop clockwise that I did in back in April.
June 10, 2012 Stacey Guild Lake (historical) 3.5 miles 500 feet gained
Another short hike for my ever loveable mutt, Gordy. We hiked a loop that covered Firelane 1, Wildwood, Chestnut, Nature, and Morak Trails. Total hiking time ~1.5 hours.
