Met Mayhem, again, sigh, at the Multnomah Falls Lodge HWY 30 parking lot at about 6:12 am. He had to go potty really bad, #2, so he was a bit late meeting up with me as he was busy trying to find a open toidy. I guess he found one down at the Ainsworth CG. Hit up the Wakkeena return trail from the lodge area to get started. Filled up a water bottle at the Wa...

Friday morning, I headed down over Santiam Pass, into Sisters, and then up into a raincloud known as Lava Canyon Trailhead. I knew the rain wouldn't last though—you could see the weather was just lingering over the Cascades from the Sisters. My plan was to do the Three Sisters Loop in 2 days. At just over 50 miles, this was totally doable, but as I would lat...

I enjoy the old lookout towers, since I was in the area I could'nt resist. It had recently snowed, and was extremely foggy and I could barely see the top of the tower.

The forecast called for a balmy 47F and partly cloudy skies. So why not visit this area again - I took a break from craigslist.jobs and my dad had a day off anyway. Long story short, when we got there it was gray drizzle, clouds laying on the ground and 39F. We did get a sunbreak or two near Bear Pass - a good bonus as it's very scenic point. When we continu...

During National Day (Chinese, one week off) my friend and I headed to western Sichuan, China to test out my new camera (Canon 50D, with 17-40mm) and avoid boredom. We left the town of Moxi, and rode the tourist bus for one hour up to the trailhead/cable-car. We chose to walk (the cable car will take you to a bluff with some Buddhist building and viewing pavi...

I'm taking it easy these days due to a returned back injury. Don't mind too much right now because it's mushroom season and that keeps the brakes on.

Up and Down, Up and Down, Up and Down. This short North Coast hike to Hanakapi'ai Beach tops out at about 600 feet, but in the two miles to get there, it feels that you've topped out a dozen times. This trail actually continues for a total of eleven miles along the shore, ending at the secluded Kalalau Beach; a gorgeous area that has its own permanent "homel...

Easy family hike and a LOONG drive to get out of rain. Ochocos are a beautiful place though.

I took the ridge line up towards Cooper Spur, and then eventually headed back down to the trail before the shelter. I made another wrong turn and started up the lower ridge, when I realized that I would have to hoof it over up the hill. Snow started at 8000', and I turned around just before the "top"—around 8300'—because the sleet and wind were really pickin...

Pictures at the end are out of order again even though I tried to make everyone's different camera dates and times the same :)) OMG, I finally figured out how to make everyone's different date and time stamps all the same in Winblows so the pictur...

What to say - lots of wonderful scenery, lots of berries, lots of flowers (kind of weird), lots of fresh elk tracks but no elk sighting, not many people, some guys commercial berry picking and wearing helmets (??). The weather mostly held with a couple of showers in the very beginning. I like how deserted this area feels.

Was in the area needed to go for a hike. Had been out here many years ago, was nice to come back and visit.

A quick afternoon hike to Cedar Falls. Part of it follows unofficial trails, the other part was a bushwhack where I could not locate a trail at all. At first, I went straight through forest because I didn't find a trail from Bonneville Hot Springs (I used to park @ Aldrich Butte TH, but didn't take a Discover Pass today), then I missed an overgrown trail to ...

My friend Marina and I day hiked the Goat Lake loop last week. The weather gods were smiling on us all day ! I did not take my dog this time, because last year she contracted giardia here and passed it on to all the other pets in the house. It was a nightmare. This hike would be wonderful as a backpack as there are many side trails to explore and I cannot wa...

Crowds - we had to park well away from the trail because parking lot and road shoulder was packed. Surprisingly, it never felt crowded in Jeff Park. Weather - the forecast was hit-or-miss on Saturday, but we gambled and decided to visit Jeff Park anyway. By 2pm I thought weatherman got it all wrong, it was as clear and sunny as it can be. Then the clouds jus...

Mt. Marge. Salmonberries. Huckleberries. Thimbleberries. Nice clouds. A relaxing hike.

Not much mileage because of the huckleberries! I had to turn back before getting to the summit.

This turned out to be kind of a monster. Left Portland around 6:15am and drove 2.5 hrs to the Norway Pass trailhead. Hiked up towards Mt. Margaret, then turned onto the Whittier trail (which is apparently open for business now, complete with new signage). We crossed the Whittier ridge and met up with the Lakes trail, then descended towards Coldwater Lake, lo...

A little family hike. The initial plan was to hit this short trail first and then hike a much longer Otter Bench Trail system, but it was hot (nice change from the previous 2 days!) and not everyone of us likes hiking in 90 degrees. So, after climbing out of a canyon we called it a day and did some sightseeing in nearby area. It's a nice hike, despite being ...
