No bears, no bugs, nobody... a perfect trip. Poles took the stress off my knee. Tarp overnight outside of Cooke City, got dark way-too early. Hitched back to Mammoth, in time for lunch Sunday.

Second time here, and still cool but definitely pales a bit next to the lush meadows of the McNeil shelter hike on the west side of Hood. Hot day, some snow to the south of the rocky section, but overall easy navigation. Still one of the best and highest near Portland.

No crowds this time, so it was peaceful. Still a rather boring day hike with the temples further along in the restoration process (May 2008 earthquake).

Didn't plan this one too well, so didn't leave enough time. Perfect clear day, but in the morning the snow was very icy and slippery. Should've had microspikes - moved to the rockline and headed towards Moon Rocks. Stopped near Anvil Rock and decided to turn back due to time. Later realized I was less than 45 mins from camp. Dangerous descent, but snow softe...

This was a pretty fun but grueling trip! About 7 1/2 miles on sand and toward the end of the hike in, you had to climb up a plateau once your legs were shot. You had to time the tides just right after about 4 miles or you were going to be pinched up against some rocks for a few hours. Along the beach, there was a dead great white shark with a huge bite taken...

Very flat, 30mph wind from the south. Warm morning, temp dropped w/snow at 5 pm. Bear tracks & scat, fischer, porcupine, squirrels all getting ready for winter. Heavy-use trail.

Easy hike, but completely rewarding. Some icy snow on the shaded side of First Burroughs, but fine with trekking poles or spikes. Spectacular views of Rainier's Glaciers, Little Tahoma, the North Cascades, and even downtown Seattle. or more of a challenge, drop down and ascend Third Burroughs.

Amazing! Most beautiful hike yet. A long drive and overnight from Portland, but worth it. Cascade Pass is easy, keep going to Sahale Arm and up to the camp if late in the season and no snow. Stunning alpine views, wildflowers, and lots of bears on the trail.

Day-hike around Terrace Mt. North on Glen Creek Trail, east at Snow Pass down to the Narrow Guage Terrace on the Howard Eaton Trail, back up through the Hoodoos to end at starting point. Marmots, snails, raspberries, currants. A nice day hike.

Fantastic! I hiked a half-circuit around the Gongga Mountain area through valleys. There is a lake where the river broadens that has islands in it where horses were feeding. A side trip up to Gongga monastery might reward you with a view of the mountain (taller than Mt. McKinley), or just the lower end of its glacier (if raining). There are herds of yaks, so...

Best hike within 60 miles of Portland. Climb the rocky ridge above McNeil shelter for closeups of the glaciers. Wildflowers, distant waterfalls, alpine scenery, views of other cascade volcanoes. Awesome!
