Started from Eagle Creek, went over to Cascade Locks and hopped on the PCT. On up Rudolph, did not take the trail after the 2700' viewpoint but continued following the ridge - great views along this route. A couple of hikers ahead of me (never saw them) broke trail heading towards the Benson Platter through the 2-3 inches of snow . Returned on Ruckel Creek T...

I stepped out of the cubicle and avoided capture in order to go on a mud stomping excursion into the woods. Down Conner, up Marquam Trail to cross the rd, back up Towhee Trail to Fairmont and back. Nice signage for the time being, hope it lasts.

Went up Starvation Ridge to Warren Lake, return on Defiance Trail. Upside-down temperature gradient as usual. Did not take spikes - might have used them but I did not slip or fall anyway - Starvation Ridge was worse for ice than Defiance Trail.

Standard loop hike up Hamilton. I was only asked to take one photo at the summit and only one group asked how to get back to the trail head. Another notch in my Discover Pass. Usually I do Beacon when I do Hamilton but it was too cold and windy.

Loop hike up Munra Point and return on Wauneka Point east route. Parked at the state fish hatchery as I'm too paranoid to park anywhere else. Wauneka Point was socked in, bummer.

Looking for a shortcut from Wahclella TH to the 777 rd. Got to the 777 road and went on up the powerline access road to the ridge going south. Landed on the Wauna Pt trail to return on Tanner Butte. The shortcut was more interesting than the 400 but not as fast in spite of the 400's long switchbacks. There's another route to explore from near the flume above...
