April 15, 2012 RenegadePilgrim Eagle Creek Campground 15 miles 1,750 feet gained
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.

April 14, 2012 Water (Matt) Devils Kitchen 5.5 miles 4,750 feet gained
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.
April 14, 2012 Chris Wildcat 10.5 miles 1,750 feet gained
A quick trip up Siouxon Creek Saturday morning. This still is one of my favorite places in the area. The river crossing to Wildcat Falls was chest-deep, and I almost got carried away with the current on my first attempt, but I was able to find a crossing a little farther down that was only waist-deep which was a little safer—kind of exhilarating.
April 14, 2012 Jen Wells Cove 5 miles 750 feet gained
Early morning run to beat the crowds and I had the trail to myself. I was hoping to see some whales, but no luck this year. I will include a picture from 2006 to show that this is the best whale watching spot (on land) in Oregon!

Easy trip out to our typical campsite on Siouxon Creek. My wife Christy came out for the first time this year and we introduced another friend to backpacking for the first time. The road is in good shape after last year's repairs, making the drive more pleasurable as well! Beautiful weather, beautiful raging creek, and beautiful night sleeping in a bivy unde...

Good thing about long days is that you can start a hike at 3 pm, hang out on the summit for an hour, and be back at your car before dark.

There are a lot of nice small hiking trails in my town of Groton, MA. This was a trip that me and my wife took mainly to take some photos for her photography class, and to get some exercise for our dog. It is a really easy and laid back trail with some surprisingly stunning views of the landscape of Groton. We will definitely be looking into all of the other...
April 13, 2012 Nat Turner Multnomah Falls 7 miles 1,500 feet gained
Stunning as always, upper viewpoint to Mult Falls is washed away, big piece of the the stonework down in the creek. Went for a little walk, scared myself with some slick exposure, ran down from the falls back to Wakeena.

An absolutely beautiful day. Just me and the dog and lots of snow. Lost the trail more than once and when I found it, it was a wee bit too difficult to follow due to blowdowns. Never did make it to the lake but had a heck of a workout.

April 8, 2012 Roman Carpenters Lake 6.5 miles 2,500 feet gained
Finally did this little loop - started from Aldrich Butte TH and went clockwise. There is a trail/use path for maybe 95% of the way and where obscure it was well flagged so its not a bushwhack per se. However, it turned out to be a lot more elevation gain than I expected - I'd rate it harder than nearby Hamilton Mtn. I didn't have to deal with brush or snow ...

Mad Cars in the Lot. I counted 26 on Sat at Noon. Wow. Too Windy for Nick Eaton and Indian Pt. We went down and up towards PCT/Pinnacles, Then on to above Dry creek falls. I-84 was blustery and the Columbia had serious whitecaps. Pics Later
April 7, 2012 Roman Packard Creek 4 miles 500 feet gained
Had just a couple of hours and didn't want to spend time driving, and this equestrian park is pretty close to my home. The park now undergoes reconstruction and they are putting gravel on dirt trails, but most trails are still as soggy as they are between October and July ;) Which means I had my share of solitude. Nice day to be out.
April 7, 2012 Father Guido Sarducci West Tiger Mountain 8.5 miles 2,750 feet gained
Highpoint Trail, TMT & West TMT to peak 1. Snow on the trail the last mile but microspikes not used. Hiked the road to peak 2 and then took the TMT back to the Highpoint Trail and then back to the TH. Much less snow on the descending trails.

Canoe trip with students. Good weather, warmer than usual. Last year there was still snow on the ground. Fishing was good and no one flipped any canoes over this time.

March 31, 2012 RenegadePilgrim Balch Canyon 8.5 miles 1,000 feet gained
Originally we started out just wanting to do the trail to Pittock Mansion. I did it a two years ago when training for the Camino de Santiago and thought it would be a nice hike to do after the Next Adventure Warehouse Sale. We got up to Pittock Mansion and felt like we could walk some more, so we went down to the Japanese Gardens, stopped for lunch and then ...
