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 ...

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 ...

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...

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.

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...

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.

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!

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 ...

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.

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...

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!

This was my fourth and final attempt to get to Tunnel Falls on Eagle Creek. I've had all kinds of challenges, the most recent being a few feet of snow in January on the trail! We made good time, leaving the trailhead around 9a and getting to 7 1/2 Mile Camp around 12p, where we stopped for a nice lunch break before heading back, passing Twister Falls, Tunnel...

A beautiful day on the mountain mixing warm temperatures with a cold breeze. We left the Marble Mountain Sno Park trailhead at 7:30 and got to the rim a little before noon. We spent about 45 minutes at the top, eating lunch and chatting with other folks. Snow was perfect for glissading by the time we started our descent. All in all, just about as perfect a d...

Went through the back gate of this day hike mountain. Lots of cascades and waterfalls. Took cable cars to other side of loop to hike down. Went through very narrow gorge that had concrete plankway and steps above a stream that rushed downward.

Went over to iLL saddle but a solo climber came over just as we got there, said he heard and saw a huge crack on the snow.. twas enough to change our plans for going that way. Went up and hung out at the hogsback as a cloud-cap had parked itself on the summit by and large. Never really seemed to clear while we were up there so we headed down.
