August 9, 2016 Woodswalker Méex̣sem Héepey Butte 2.25 miles 250 feet gained
It was a gnarly weather day so I decided to go where the weather would add to the scenery. So I went to Zumwalt prairie and took a short stroll and then drove up the long gravel road to Buckhorn Lookout on the edge of Hell's Canyon. Fantastic views and tons of wildlife. Especially close to Buckhorn Lookout.

August 6, 2016 Rhonda Scout Lake 13 miles 2,250 feet gained
After my Diamond Peak fail, I decided I must start getting back out and hiking again so picked a favorite of mine Jeff Park. Was a beautiful, sunny day with a light breeze that kept most of the hike really cool. It didn't start to warm up too much until about 1 pm when we started our hike out. Fantastic day, slightly dampened by all the SAR in and around the...
August 6, 2016 B-Dog Sourdough Gap 7.5 miles 1,750 feet gained
What a great afternoon on the East Side of Rainier. We left a grey overcast Kent in the morning and drove into blue sky near chinook pass. I picked a nice easy lake hike with the hopes that Mayumi would want to join me. She ended up saying yes and off we went. The hike up to sheep lake is pretty low key, but the wildflowers were out in full force so there wa...
August 5, 2016 Karl Glisan Glacier 12.5 miles 4,000 feet gained
Decided to try a different route in, this time, and went to the McGee Creek trailhead rather than Top Spur. I like! It starts about 300' lower, and adds a mile or so in each direction. But the trail was entirely deserted, and lined with huckleberries. (Probably some causal relationship there, huh?) Actually, it being a Friday, I only saw one other person on ...

Tracked some of last summer's hikes on a piece of paper & then lost it, didn't want to spend time and recalculate the stats again. Just found it today

Made base camp @ Diamond Meadows @ 2700' & then day hiked from there to Anderson Glacier twice. First time the weather did not cooperate, foggy & drizzly, 2nd time weather was great & the views @ Anderson Pass & at the glacier were fabulous.
July 31, 2016 Karl The Bumper 18 miles 4,000 feet gained
Soaked up alpine goodness on the western flanks of Mount Adams until well after the sun had set. Such a marvelous day, spent with a great friend. The road to the Stagman Ridge trailhead is probably in better shape than any other in the Adams area. We arrived there less than a half-hour after passing through Trout Lake. After securing our Wilderness Permit, w...
July 31, 2016 Woodswalker Salt Creek 17 miles 3,750 feet gained
Fantastic day!!!! We headed up Stagman ridge with the idea of tagging Lookingglass Lake and then doing a bit of, off trail above treeline near the Bumper. The burn is coming along nicely with some fun views through the burned trees. We decided to cut off the Stagman ridge trail on a use path directly over to Lookingglass Lake instead of going up and then des...

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 ...

July 24, 2016 Karl Yocum Ridge 20 miles 4,000 feet gained
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 ...
July 23, 2016 Karl Cape Horn 8 miles 1,750 feet gained
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.

July 21, 2016 Roman Middle Falls 6.5 miles 1,000 feet gained
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.
July 21, 2016 Woodswalker Jack Lake 7.5 miles 1,500 feet gained
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.
July 20, 2016 Woodswalker Douthit Spring 10.4 miles 1,500 feet gained
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.

July 16, 2016 Karl Three Fingered Jack 22 miles 4,000 feet gained
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...

July 13, 2016 Woodswalker Flag Point 10.2 miles 2,000 feet gained
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.
July 10, 2016 Karl Multnomah Creek Way 22.5 miles 6,000 feet gained
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...
July 9, 2016 Rhonda Smith Rock 4.5 miles 250 feet gained
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. :)
