February 4 to February 5, 2012 Water (Matt) Maxwell Butte 8 miles 2,500 feet gained 1 night
Left town around 9am. Started hiking at 11:30am Snowshoes not needed first mile maybe, but, eventually flotation is desired. Many dead trees had blown down during the middle stretch. They likely came down the day before as there was little snow melt around them and no old or new snow atop them, including bits of debris from the break. They all had fallen in ...

February 4, 2012 Father Guido Sarducci Mount Washington 10 miles 3,250 feet gained
A few blowdowns at the beginning of the trail but overall trail is in good condition. Trail is pretty much snow/ice from the start and and while I used the microspikes, snowshoes were not necessary. Very windy @ the 4500' summit.
February 3, 2012 Roman Dog Mountain 6 miles 2,750 feet gained
After reading about all the trail damage, I decided to go on less-affected "difficult" trail up and down, then hike up east (scenic) trail from the lower junction to the first bad spot, and do some cutting with my handsaw. However, even the short trail had so much blowdown it required going off-trail in at least 2 spots (and dozens of less bad spots needing ...
February 3, 2012 Chris Pika 7 miles 1,500 feet gained
I had just a few hours today, and I wanted to take a quick walk, so I picked June Lake. Marble Mountain is 1 hour 15 minutes from my house, just about the same as the Hood sno parks, but I always forget it's so close. As long as you can live with the snowmobile noise for the first 1/2 mile or so, the area is far less crowded. The snow was so packed in on the...

February 2, 2012 Father Guido Sarducci Brook Lake 4 miles 0 feet gained
Had the afternoon off so took by 5 year old grandson on this hike. Hike is mostly on a boardwalk which meanders through the wetlands. Great educational hike for kids but beware as boardwalk can be quite slippery in places.
February 1, 2012 Nat Turner Wiesendanger Falls 5.5 miles 1,750 feet gained
Slow Day at the Tourist Stop. Not that I minded. Started at Wakeena, up on Vista, over to Larch Mt., where i went up as far as the damaged bridge. photos follow, whole loop is passable, no snow. I would even say the Mult. creek bridge on Larch mt. trail is good for one at a time (not forest service approved) Has anyone that reads these posts hiked the closed...

Last day before falcon closure to do the whole loop. I went on a run/hike in the counterclockwise direction ( getting the road portion out of the way first) with my friend Meghann. We went through one of the two tunnels that goes under highway 14. They are wonderful, and mimic the masonry from Samuel Lancaster's days.

Lost Park for Sure. Old Underground Command Bunker Totally Empty, no one else around, on a Tuesday at 3pm. Such a different vibe than Tabor, just one Lava dome away. Anyway Started in the 40's off Belmont, summit of Tabor, down the dark-side of Tabor, crossed 205 on Market, south on 103rd on the way back approached Tabor from the division side, much steeper,...

January 28, 2012 Shannon 3 miles 750 feet gained
This hike was awesome and gave a great view of the other side of Red Rock Canyon. The trip might be a little long for younger kids but it actually meets up at the end with part of the Kids Discovery Trail. There was a small waterfall and ice still on the plant life around it. It was a pretty cool contrast! (The elevation gain is ~670 according to the resourc...
January 28, 2012 Ken Lower Maynard Burn 4.5 miles 1,750 feet gained
Was trying to get to Upper Dungeness River TH when I got my Scion XB stuck in the snow. I dug myself out and figured that since I was already here, I may as well do some snowshoeing so I headed up what appeared to be a FS Road and followed it along for a couple of miles. It was tough going breaking new snow and it was misting and grey but it was also quiet a...

Went with Canterbury Tramping Club. Hiked through tussock and beech forests on a loop. On mountains located across the river from entrance from Arthur's Pass National Park. Nice blue skies, not too much wind despite forecast. Got to use my Oware tarp again. Black flies are a problem, but not too bad in the mountains. Slept with head net and tightly tucked in...
January 28, 2012 Randy Frost Cape Horn 7 miles 1,250 feet gained
A group of us did Cape Horn today, the last weekend before the lower loop closure. The rain wasn't too bad until we hit Cape Horn Road. We didn't see another soul the whole hike. They sure did a nice job maintaining the trail this year and the tunnels are great!

January 28, 2012 Father Guido Sarducci Rattlesnake Mountain 10 miles 3,000 feet gained
Trail is in very good condition. Trail is a bit icy up to the first ledge and then is snow/ice all the way to the East Peak... with deep snow the last mile and a half from the summit. Crowds were light and in fact this the first time I have ever seen the first ledge people free.

Went with friends Nick, [Chris](http://wenthiking.com/users/5-chris/hikes), and new friend Tommy up the switchbacks to Gumjuwac Saddle Friday for some snow camping. The weather was perfect—blue, crisp, and calm. The snow was unexpectedly crunchy underfoot for the first 1500 vertical feet, but gave way to powder once we reached the crest of the hill. The camp...

January 25, 2012 Jen Hillockburn Spring 5 miles 1,000 feet gained
Two different short hikes off Hillockburn Road. 1) Hillockburn Spring is a clear little springfed pond that sits in the middle of a reprod unit of 10 year old trees about a mile up gated "Resort Road". As with many roadsides in the Clackamas forest, at the gate, rednecks have turned the area into their personal shooting gallery/dumping ground. But lucklily t...

Hound dog liked it, as he was banned from Kings mt yesterday due to weather. The upper reaches of Belmont sidewalks 60th-75th could be considered off trail due to years of sidewalk debris accumulating. ha.

January 22, 2012 Father Guido Sarducci Point Evans 10.5 miles 500 feet gained
With the recent snow/ice/wind storm damage making the majority of trails in the area in-hike able I decided to venture out and hike some of the beaches of Puget Sound. Started the hike @ the War Monument in Tacoma, crossed the Narrows and hiked down the Narrows Trail to the foot of the Narrows Bridge. The Narrows Trail has been heavily damaged from the storm...
January 22, 2012 Nat Turner Kings Mountain 5.5 miles 2,500 feet gained
Slush Fest. so wet on the top ridge-line, I did not even open my bag for the camera. 60mph gusts between the picnic table and the summit. = Nervous factor +2 snow depth varies, about 12-16 inches at top. brought snowshoes did not use them. only saw two others, they turned back at the viewpoint below the last ridge-line props to Levon for joining up! Thnx Bud...
January 22, 2012 Dustin DuBois Neahkahnie Mountain 4 miles 1,250 feet gained
Neahkahnie Mountain with Roy & Thum from PortlandHikers! Quite the show from the wind and trees! I've never walked across a large root cluster when it was coming up out of the ground due to its connected tree whipping back and forth in the wind. And there was a tree with dead animal tails hanging from it!

Uber athlete long distance trail acquaintance from AT07/the internets graciously offered to 'show us the mountains' around Reno after Bucket and I scored some cheap tickets ($70rt) from PDX-RNO. Fortunately we didn't need snowshoes the whole way, but it was definitely a strenuous hike at 9miles one way. Snow conditions were good though, powdery as opposed to...
