Nice day for hiking as it was around 45 degrees at the Leif Erikson TH. The parking lot was fairly full around 10am but still had room for several more cars. We started up LE for quite a ways then doubled back to the TH. From there we did a loop up Cannon Trail to Wildwood, down Waterline and caught LE back to the TH. Several spots, especially, on the Cannon...

Left the city at 3 o'clock for a quick conditioning hike up Angel's Rest. We made it to the top, relaxed 5 minutes and jogged back to the car, arriving a little after 5pm. Fun little trip.

We intended upon doing the Wahkeena-Multnomah Loop trail, but ankle deep snow, lack of waterproof footwear and trekking poles made it so we only got to Fairy Falls. It was a slushy, slippy haul.
March 1, 2011 Gary 5.5 miles 750 feet gained
This morning we drove down to Busiek and hiked the white and orange trails, about five and three quarter miles with a couple of two hundred foot ascents. It was muddy and most of the creeks and a lot of the trails had water in them, which meant we had to be inventive in finding way across without getting wet; until we had to cross camp creek that is. It was ...

My friend Kevin & I tried to cross-country 5.5 miles through untouched powder to Thomas Lake in Indian Heaven, couldn't find our way across a creek for almost a mile, climbed a hill too steep to be enjoyable while mashing through two feet of powder, figured out the dumb navigational mistake we had made straight from the trailhead (taking trail 150 southwest ...

I was surprised by what a busy day it was on this trail, on a chilly February Sunday. I saw about 2 dozen people. I guess the 3 day weekend had a lot of people out and about.

*Day 1* Over the past week we've checked the maps and pictures of the wilderness we found online. We had a rough plan of action, starting at the Collins Ridge trail head. There was no other vehicles in the parking lot, checking the registration log, it appeared no one had entered the wilderness from here for a while. We had a good hike along the Devils Backb...

This was a really fun hike down a gorgeous canyon in the high desert. We started at White River Falls, explored some cool old buildings from the old power plant, and then meandered down to the Deschutes.
February 19, 2011 Anne S. Greenleaf Peak 4 miles 1,750 feet gained
Didn't make it to the cliffs, returned the way I came up due to hip-deep snow at the summit. Turnoff at the ridge tricky to find, had to bushwhack up to the ridge and saw the trail only on the return trip.

The single biggest thing I learned from this hike is what nutrition can do for you. I'd say this was, by the numbers, the most ambitious hike I'd gone on, covering 14 miles and climbing nearly 5000', much of which breaking trail in snowshoes. But, I tried a Hammer Nutrition product called Perpeteum, a powdered mix made for >2 hour endurance exercise, and I'v...

Perfect snow for snowshoeing down at Santiam Pass yesterday. The squeaky kind. Seeing clear skies in the forecast, I thought I'd head down and enjoy the weather. Needless to say, no clear skies, but some great new snow. My nerves were rattled when, after missing the turn and passing the 20/22 intersection, amidst strong winds and blowing snow, a Ford Explore...
