_Another_ hike up Angel's Rest. This time, though, was with a couple friends and my beautiful wife. Mild, dry weather and no wind at the top let us enjoy a delicious picnic of garlic clove ciabatta bread, humboldt fog cheese, raspberries, avacado, and cashews. Great day to be relaxing outside, and am very excited to be feeling warmth in the gorge for the fir...

I was one of hundreds of people up here today, including two BCEP groups and at least two other hiking club groups. This experience validated my preference for hiking alone, on weekdays, on obscure trails.

My husband, Alfie, and I planned to hike SOBO from Rt. 11 (from where we left NOBO for our previous hike) and go all the way on the AT to Springer Mtn in GA. We left April 2nd and were aiming to be picked up the first weekend in June, which would have left us time to go slow and possibly take some side trails through the Smokies...

I parked at the Linnton Community Center, then crossed highway 30 and picked up the Linnton Trail behind the bus stop. I took it up to Forest Lane 9, which ends on Germantown rd across from Lief Ericsson. I then took the Cannon Trail to the Wildwood to the Waterline trail which ends at the water tower surrounded by a pretty park like setting. Got snowed on u...

Travel west up towards the Eucalyptus grove. Head southeast back down the other side to east boundary trail. Take trail up to Hazard Peak. From there go to Beach. From Beach, head north and then go over dunes back to town.

Did a conditioning hike with my full pack. Great loop, definitely step heading up the "most difficult" trail towards the summit.

Munra Point is a fantastic hike; one that I probably won't be again doing alone. I've done this before with a friend, but by myself I spent half the time thinking, "Wow, if I slip here there's no one to get help, notify my next of kin, etc." I started from the Wahclella Falls trailhead and took #400 west for about 1.5 miles to the sorta unmarked Munra trailh...

It's 10pm Friday night. I've been in the car for 15 hours so far, on the way back to where we started after heading down to California. My legs are cramped, but it's from sitting in the car instead of hiking. I **hate** the Redwoods and am never going back. * * * It's Thursday night and we have the perfect hiking plan for the coming great weather weekend. We...

Hiked Nesmith Point again today - it was significantly more difficult than in January because of more snow, but it's for exercise after all. Took me 6 hours instead of usual 5, and 2 1/2 hours were through snow, which started at about 2,500 feet and almost immediately became 1-2 feet deep. I didn't take snowshoes (still have to figure out how to attach them ...

Saw: Owl (Spotted?), Elk, Rough Skinned Newt After seeing the report last week, I had to make it up there. I highly recommend going tomorrow or Sunday if you can, as the recent temps and melt have made the waterfalls super great! Just be careful of the trail/creek/waterfall just before the Chinook bridge, should you go in the next two days - it's best to cro...

Well let me just say it felt amazing to be hiking in the sun with temps in the mid 60's. felt much warmer with the warm breeze. On our drive up the Gorge to Catherine Creek we were a bit worried about the weather conditions, between Angel's Rest and John Yeon it was too foggy/rainy to even SEE Washington across the River. Once at the trail we went up and to ...

Got out of work early and decided to head up Mult. Falls on the Larch Mountain Trail. The water was the highest I've seen before. Despite a lot of rain it was a great way to spend the afternoon.

Went to King's Mountain on Monday with a friend because I thought that we'd actually have some clear skies in the afternoon. Unfortunately it was overcast, with no views from the top. The trail was snow free until about 2800 ft, where it got slushy, then turning into about two feet of snow near the top.

Hiked up the front of Hamilton Mountain and came down along the backside. Snowed really hard at the top when we got there. Other than that it was a great hike.

Nice little warm up semi loop starting at the gated Herman Creek work center taking Herman Creek, 406, up to Gorton Creek trail. Hiked up about 2.5 miles to the Ridge Cut off trail to connect over to Nick Eaton trail to head back down to 406 and the gated TH. Lots of snow starting at 2500'. The actual elevation gain for this hike is about 2900 but logged 275...

Fun day, super intense hike/climb. There was a double rainbow, which was awesome! This hike will be better soon. The wet rocks on the boulder field really slowed us down.

Amazingly, there was NO WIND at the lookout or even on the way to the summit. Snow was a little higher up than last time. The weather wasn't the greatest, and didn't offer any glimpses of the views along the way. We went up the Old Trail, and down the Scenic. I saw one or two beginnings of some purple wildflowers. Spring is coming! At the top, it started sno...

Torrential downpours, extreme wind, flooding etc kept us from doing a lot of the hiking we had planned for the Redwoods. Many places inaccessible due to flooding (Ex: Fern Canyon) And some old growth areas (Tall Trees Grove) were off limits due to high winds and the danger of "widow maker" limbs falling from wayyyy highhhh up. It was my first visit to LadyBi...

I knew, after looking at current conditions in the Olympics, that I may not get too far on my goal of the Enchanted Valley on the East Quinault River. Hat tip to Kyle for the recommendation. On paper everything looked good. Sure, there were 40 blowdowns between the trailhead and mi 13. Sure, there was snow at higher elevations. But what I didn't know is how ...

Planned to hike Hunchback Mountain but it rained so hard that I decided to drive further east. Started at Frog Lake Snowpark. I didn't take snowshoes because didn't plan for snow hiking, but the trail was tracked very well and the snow was firm, so I almost never postholed - it was as easy as regular hiking. Lots of snow, some signs were just a few inches ab...

After a quick overnight on the Herman Creek Trail, Shane & I drove to the Beacon Rock trailhead to climb Hamilton Mountain. The climb was very tough but rewarding, with nice viewpoints along the "more difficult" direct approach to the summit. Snow didn't appear until the last hundred feet of elevation, but remained for a quarter mile of the less difficult ap...

Shane & I arrived at the trailhead at 4:30pm and quickly started hiking, shooting for Cedar Swamp Camp as our destination. The weather was sunny and warm, and we covered a lot of ground quick. Around 7pm, we made it to Whiskey Creek and realized that the snow,...
