March 23, 2011 Anne S. City of Portland Reservoir Number 3 7 miles 750 feet gained

Been doing this about once a month or more. Saw an awesome Monkey Puzzle tree this time.

March 23, 2011 Kyle Meyer Hamilton Mountain 8 miles 2,250 feet gained

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...

March 22 to March 23, 2011 Kyle Meyer Whisky Creek 12.5 miles 3,000 feet gained 1 night

Left early from work on Tuesday and took off Wednesday to bask in the short window of good weather. 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,...

March 20, 2011 Justin Wright Wauneka Point 7.5 miles 2,250 feet gained

Amazing hike up to Munra Point. Actually had some sun and views. Very steep but worth the climb. The trail is unmaintained but didn't have any issues finding our way up.

March 20, 2011 Eric Peterson Dog Creek 5.5 miles 2,500 feet gained

Nice conditioning hike with my Dog, some 20'' of snow after the picnic table up to the sign in notebook...

March 19 to March 20, 2011 Water (Matt) Barlow Butte 4 miles 1,750 feet gained 1 night

got off work a bit early. Made it to Barlow Pass just before sunset. Headed down to Devil's Half Acre to meetup with J and J. They had dug an awesome fire pit.. so I went to work on our snow-lodging. Fun night drinking beer, enjoying the snow, and being out under one of the largest full moons in my lifetime. Slept in a snowtrench with a tarp across it. The n...

March 19, 2011 Sirhikesalot1 Ridge Cut-Off 9 miles 3,000 feet gained

Just me and the dog today. Hit the first snow on the trail at around 2700' and after Indian point it was nasty slushy between 1-2 feet deep in spots..

March 17, 2011 Monica Doane Creek 12 miles 1,000 feet gained

Part of the Forest Park Challenge!

March 13, 2011 Timberwolf Dog Mt. Summit 7 miles 2,750 feet gained

Went with James. Up the "More Difficult" Old Trail and down the Scenic trail. Forget the Augsberger! The wind was insane, gusting upwards of 40mph near the top. It nearly knocked me over a few times, and managed to take my hat. We went off trail for a short while to look for it, going along a tree line. Spotted lots of deer poop, but no hat. It was amazing b...

March 13 to March 14, 2011 Shane Moody Island 23 miles 500 feet gained 1 night

Great weekend! We had to deal with a few clouds when we set out, but it was sunny and almost 60 degrees when we arrived at camp. There wasn't a ton of scenery changes or elevation gains, but it was very scenic and a great taste of spring weather!

March 12, 2011 Water (Matt) Teacup Lake 4.5 miles 1,250 feet gained

Went with Al to Bennet Pass. Snowshoed to top of peak and drank a beer. Got some good shots of a rabbit. Had been very cold the previous week.

March 12, 2011 Jen Doane Point 5 miles 750 feet gained

Starting at the St Johns Bridge, the Ridge trail goes all the way up to the top of Firelane 7. I took the Hardesty Trail part of the way down to make a lollipop loop.

March 12, 2011 Phoebe "BertMoss" Ridell Lake 2.5 miles 500 feet gained

The rain ceased briefly, prompting a short afterwork jaunt. Lots of interesting clouds in the Gorge today. Other than Multnomah Falls the Gorge was surprisingly empty for a Saturday.

March 12, 2011 Conner Dowling Multnomah Falls 7 miles 1,750 feet gained

The Elevator Shaft was amazing. Great Hike. Only wish I had more time at the top of Cougar Rock. Trip Report on portlandhikers.org was a great resource.

March 12, 2011 Jerry Mount Harwood 8 miles 3,000 feet gained

Great hike up the Ski Hut trail. Got stoped half a mile short of the summit by a steep snow shute.

March 12 to March 13, 2011 Kyle Meyer Moody Island 23 miles 500 feet gained 1 night

[Shane](http://wenthiking.com/with/31-shane/hikes/180) and I hunted down the best weather within a 10 hour drive this weekend, and decided on the Deschutes. I'll get this out of the way—the hike itself is pretty boring. It's a long gravel road through an otherwise beautiful canyon, with little bits of trail to break up the monotony. The scenery is beautifu...

March 12, 2011 Eric Peterson Elowah Falls 9.5 miles 3,500 feet gained

Second attempt in 2011, almost got to Nesmith Point Road from looking at my phones GPS tracks but it felt like I was already way down Horsetail Creek Trail so I turned arounda dn headed back. Up to 4' of snow, with fresh snow falling as I tromped around, nice good snow shoe today!

March 11, 2011 Roman Coyote Wall 6 miles 1,500 feet gained

[pics hosted for another hike for a TR] We went to Coyote Wall today and did a loop counter-clockwise, connecting the upper and lower Wall trail via Wizard Trail. It would be harder doing it (the first time at least) clockwise because the lower junction of Wizard Trail would be impossible to find - it's very faint trail @ lower junction. It rained heavily wh...

March 10, 2011 Monica Wind Mountain 3 miles 1,000 feet gained

Steep hike but nice, I made it to the last talus crossing and stopped because of slippery snow and strong wind. Hope to get back there soon.

March 10, 2011 Phoebe "BertMoss" Gifford Pinchot National Forest 3 miles 1,500 feet gained

*sigh* not so good at marking these hikes on the map! This was an amazing short hike, good workout, amazing views of the Gorge and Dog Mt, some Native history and a little snow! ICK, also found a goat carcass in the parking lot, wrapped up in a plastic sheet, with its guts in a separate bag. SUPER BUMMER.

March 10, 2011 Sirhikesalot1 Mount Talbert 2.5 miles 750 feet gained

Did a quick burn over and around Talbert on the way home from work. Surprisingly as hard as it rained today, it didn't rain at all on my hike.

March 7, 2011 Monica Moffett Falls 5 miles 500 feet gained

Nice hike but I freaked out on the cliff area near McCord Creek Falls. After seeing the two falls we hiked past Elowa to the Gorge 400 trail I think and we followed that for a ways.

March 7, 2011 Jen Dog Mountain 7 miles 2,500 feet gained

Bluebird day for the Dog Mountain Loop. The upper portion of the Augsperger Trail was a bit scary to traverse.

March 7, 2011 Phoebe "BertMoss" Rodney Falls 4.5 miles 500 feet gained

umm I didn't do so well on marking this on the map! Again one of my favorite hikes, I am to do this once a month, just too see how much the scenery changes throughout the year.

March 7, 2011 Anne S. Cook Hill 6 miles 2,500 feet gained

Beautiful sunny day, felt good hiking but stopped at Puppy Point due to wind and exposed traverse across snow before summit.

March 7, 2011 Roman Angels Rest 6.5 miles 1,500 feet gained

Hiked about a mile past Angels Rest to a primitive camp near Foxglove Creek. No snow on the trail until the Camp, which is 70% snow covered. Warm day and not too many people.

March 6, 2011 Eric Peterson Elowah Falls 7 miles 2,500 feet gained

3' of snow starting about where I turned around today at the 2800' level. For some reason I decided not to at least attach my snow shoes to my day pack, I think it was because I read something about Civrot in his 5 fingers and didn't realize his report was almost a week old, so last weeks winter blast really piled it up on the Nesmith Point trail! Learned my...

March 5 to March 7, 2011 Justin Wright Cape Creek 10 miles 1,000 feet gained 2 nights

Camped out at Cape Lookout State Park. Did the 10 mile hike out to the viewpoint on the cape and then back down to the campground.
