http://www.portlandhikers.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=11453 Took #447 the entire way instead of #406 -> #476; guestimating that this saved one mile or so.
April 29, 2012 Nat Turner Horseshoe Falls 8 miles 250 feet gained
First time here. This place rules. I wonder how crowded the trail gets on Summer days. Def coming back for some backpacking soon.

April 29, 2012 Roman Hood River Mountain 4 miles 750 feet gained
Another short hike for the day. This hike is all about flowers and views, and it was about the time. Balsamroot (aka sunflowers) start nicely but still a week or two before the peak. It was sunny, cool, and very breezy; nice day to be there. Unlike the falls trail, this one is not published (it's on private land but open to hikers) so it had much less crowds...
April 29, 2012 Roman Elowah Falls 4 miles 750 feet gained
Thought about doing Munra Pt from Yeon trailhead - the falls were on the way which is nice... Turned out the construction completely razed at least 1/2 mile of Gorge Trail #400 soon after Elowah (they are making some road that parallels the freeway) and I couldn't find the trail on the other end. Didn't feel like going on the freeway shoulder to Moffett Cree...
April 29, 2012 Father Guido Sarducci Hugo Peak 6.5 miles 1,500 feet gained
Hiked up Hugo Peak. Took the road down to the Kirkland Pass and then hiked the Trail of the Giants. Descended Hugo Peak via the Reservoir Trail.
April 28 to April 29, 2012 Ken 7 miles 1,000 feet gained 1 night
Beautiful area. Can explore the canyons for days on end. Blue skies, a few rattlers, tons of tics. What more can you ask for?

April 28 to April 29, 2012 Matt Miller 9 miles 0 feet gained 1 night
Took the Metro North from Penn Station to Sloatsburg Saturday morning and hiked in to Pine Meadow Lake. It's about 1 mile along the highway and 4 on trails, all well-maintained and not too strenuous. We took the long way around the lake looking for a great spot and found one under some tall pine trees right by the water. Dinner was a hearty stroganoff & egg ...

April 28, 2012 Jen Mowich Butte 9 miles 2,000 feet gained
This section of the PCT is so beautiful. Huge stands of alder along the N Fork of Rock Creek some nice moss covered scree fields, and multiple waterfalls. Snow starts at 2800 ft, but it's melting fast!

Took my wife out for her first backpacking trip. We 22 miles over 2 nights and 3 days...although most of the miles were on the 2nd and 3rd days because we got to the trail late on day one and hiked in a mile to the campsite. Shared the campsites both nights and on night two met some really cool guys who were all marines. Great time and the wife had a lot of ...
April 25, 2012 RenegadePilgrim Catherine Creek Shortcut 8.5 miles 1,750 feet gained
I think our actual mileage was a little longer than this, but I'm going to go with what portlandhikers has listed. I haven't spent a lot of time on the Washington side of the Gorge, but this trail is definitely one I want to go back and explore more. There are lots of options for hiking from the Catherine Creek trailhead and we had a great day of no rain to ...

April 21 to April 22, 2012 Ken Manastash Lake 7 miles 1,500 feet gained 1 night
Just wanted to get away for a day. Got a late start but found a nice spot to set up camp near some sage on a small knoll. Mt. Baker could be seen easily to the north. Coyotes baying throughout the night. A hot day, temps in the 70s and a blistering sun. Not much water to be had on the trail. After setting up camp explored the canyons looking for wildlife but...

April 21 to April 22, 2012 Barnaby B. Haypress Pond 10 miles 2,000 feet gained 1 night
Marin headlands is a great place to learn a lot about camping, or to just quickly get away from it all in SF. It's just over the bridge so I found it's easy to get lots of friends who aren't adventurous to sign up for this. The views of the city and the ocean are great but the views of the hills are OK, the weather is generally great, the paths are well main...

Sandia Mountains, Albuquerque, NM This was a strange little hike, but fun. Saw a lot of great plant life.
April 21, 2012 RenegadePilgrim Herman Bridge 8.5 miles 2,750 feet gained
What started out as a foggy morning in Portland, turned into a beautiful sunny day in the Gorge. We did the entire 8.4 mile loop (the portlandhikers link lists a different mileage than the book I used), which in retrospect, I would just go to Indian Point and go back the same way. Doing the loop is an insane elevation drop along Nick Eaton Ridge that made me...
April 21, 2012 Chris Falls Creek Falls 8 miles 1,500 feet gained
Went out to Falls Creek Falls and did a little exploring up by Paradise Campground.
April 21, 2012 Water (Matt) Tumalo Mountain 3.5 miles 1,500 feet gained
bucket and I did this quickie snowshoe with my pops. started midday so snow was shot and goopy, but wonderful views up top. neat perspective on the area. definitely a short bang-for-the-buck touron level adventure. maybe good for an easy winter overnighter/practice ice axe place.

April 21, 2012 Jen Franklin Ridge 7 miles 2,000 feet gained
I brought a friend up the Elevator Shaft and then we crossed Multnomah Basin to Nesika Lodge. We then headed up to Franklin Ridge and came down the Larch Mountain Trail- what a zoo on a sunny Saturday!
April 21, 2012 Roman Horsetail Creek 10 miles 3,500 feet gained
Did a trip as described in Portland Hikers Field Guide, other than Oneonta ford was too high to cross safely - had to bushwhack along E side to where trail crossed back to our side. The arch was fun, as well as Devils Backbone. Saw the first Indian Paintbrush there. There was snow in places between upper Horsetail and Bell Creek junctions, but even there it ...
April 21, 2012 Father Guido Sarducci Rattlesnake Mountain 13 miles 3,000 feet gained
Climbed to the East Peak via the Snoqualmie Point Trail. Snow began a bit before Grand Prospect and used micro spikes from there to the summit.

Pounding the Pavement with the hound. Pack loaded up, just trying out some gear.
April 20 to April 21, 2012 Kyle Meyer Ruckel Creek 16 miles 5,000 feet gained 1 night
My good friend Kevin and I carried snowshoes and skis respectively up to the Benson Plateau, hoping we might be able to make it out near Chinidere mountain. The weather Friday was pretty awful—temperate with high humidity—making the hiking extremely moist. I expected there'd be less snow up there, expecting to find at least a snow-free patch to sleep. Instea...
April 19, 2012 Jen Rowena Gap 6.5 miles 1,750 feet gained
Escaped the rain and had a nice quiet hike today. Rambbled up above the old orchard on a 4WD road and did some bushwacking. Can't seem to load my pics!
