So a bit on yesterday's climbing fail for me. I had driving directions to trailhead but not much of a map so I went to google put in the trailhead, double checked it was right by looking basecamp and printed the map and directions. Sadly google failed me for the first time (google's directions were no where near Sulivan's directions) The last 7 miles of road...

A call went out, "Who would like an unused volcano pass?" in the [PortlandHikers Facebook group](https://www.facebook.com/groups/PortlandHikers/) on Saturday, and on Tuesday I was on my way up! Went climbing with a great bunch of guys, mostly retired, and the day turned out to be just as perfect as perfect gets. Not an entirely sunny, bluebird day, but just ...

Forecast was calling for hot, so it was time to get high! Started the day down low, hiking through the lush, moss-carpeted Old Maid Flats. Crossing the Sandy was about as easy as it gets, these days, now that MHNF would rather not make sure it's safe for folks anymore. Hardly crossed trails with anyone going the back way up to Ramona, along the little creek ...

Spent the morning "being responsible," and decided to take the pooch for a quick loop around Cape Horn later in the day. Went clockwise, for a bit of a change, getting the road walk out of the way first. Ran into an old friend on one of the trails "that shall not be named" and had a great conversation overlooking the Columbia. Really nice stretch on just abo...

Putvin Trail to Lake of The Angels. This is a steep, rooty, muddy trail that is quite challenging with several fun scrambling areas.

Epic trip with my son counter clockwise around Mt. Hood on the Timberline Trail. Great weather, flowers, tough river crossings and incredible views. My husband and other son joined us at Paradise Park for the night and last few miles out.

First hike for my cousins - they liked it up there. The river is pretty low now, which makes it possible to hike almost in front of the falls, and find interesting vantage points. Middle portion of the hike is still closed, but detour is clearly marked. Also, we heard a large tree fall on the other side of the canyon.

Totally beautiful day. We did the loop and then added on the stretch up the moraine to the view of the glacial cirque. Wildflowers full on in the lower meadows and getting ready to pop on the upper meadows. Skeeters very minimal.

Amazing out and back on the PCT Highway. Saw lots of blooms, lakes in the distance, views galore, happy people and one through hiker! Really, really good hike.

An incredible loop all the way around Three Fingered Jack, taking off from Santiam Pass. We traveled counter-clockwise around the ancient volcano, hoping to both follow the sun for better photos, and to get most of the more grueling climbs out of the way earlier in the day. Probably 70% of the entire loop was through areas burned in the 2003 B&B Complex wild...

I wanted to hit the bloom in the Badger and I needed some sun. So off to the east I went. Quiet day up there saw a few people near the summit. The penstemon is peaking, with lots of other colors dotted through. I parked at High Prairie, hiked to the old lookout site and headed down the Divide trail, taking my time even though it was downhill mostly. Where th...

4T: Train, trail, tram, trolley. For something different we met friends downtown and took the Max train to the Zoo where we caught the trail to Council Crest, hiked to OHSU's tram, and took the trolley back into downtown.

Got a late start, not arriving at Multnomah Falls until 10-ish, and the crowds were out in full force. Powered my way up to the top in just over 20 minutes, though, and it was clear sailing from there on up. The day was overcast, and rain was looking pretty likely. Really, the perfect day for a forest hike! On the way up Larch, I crossed paths with quite a f...

More hiking in and out to climbing spots. Mark was lazy and made me take the long way to the spot as opposed to climbing over Asterisk's Pass. I'll take the mileage though because my hiking mileage is not so hot this year with my newfound hobby. :)

Just a lazy looking at the views and sitting in the meadows watching the breeze kind of hike. We parked about a half mile up the 4890 rd where it intersects the 471 trail. Started out in a nice fir and hemlock forest, but it quickly shifted to more open alpine forest. We hit the summit of Bonney Butte with crystal clear views except beyond Mt Hood. Great vie...

Wide awake at 4am suffering from severe jet lag, I headed to Mt Adams for some trail time. Exploring Riley Camp trail has been on my to do list for awhile and my intention was to do an up and back hike to treeline but instead I ended up doing a longer loop by taking the "Riley Camp cutoff" -- trail 64a -- to the PCT then head north until catching Riley Camp ...

Surreal. Mid-70s, low humidity, and wildflowers just exploding across the Pumice Plains. Never seen such an amazing display before. Goat Rocks, at peak, can come close. Paradise Park pales in comparison. Rather than 10s of acres of gorgeous color, we luxuriated through 10s of square miles of unbelievable beauty, somehow dragging out 17 miles across 10 trail ...

Johnson Peak hike via Goat Ridge (what started nice on Sunday ended with a white-out and 60 mph winds, as we hurried over 7200' pass back to the camp). Did several shorter scrambles on Fri-Sat on side ridges W of Goat Ridge.
