February 2, 2014 2 miles 250 feet gained

Exploration into a hike we want to complete in summer... not enough time today. Nice climb along a scenic creek through replant and older second growth forest.

February 2, 2014 Coffenbury Lake 3.5 miles 250 feet gained

This is a hike that can be expanded in all directions or you can just do the 2 mile circle of the lake. It is gorgeous at sunset and the lake does a wonderful job of reflecting everything around it. We connected over to Burma Rd tolink back but you could really spend a day on these trails.

February 1, 2014 Smith Point 7 miles 0 feet gained

Following the route of the Astoria and Columbia River Railway this is another history lesson for your feet. Where did the Indian revolution begin and in what unlikely building? What is the largest truss bridge in the world? What is the oldest US settlement west of the Rockies? ...add many stops for good local food and brews and yo have a perfect city-hike.

February 1, 2014 Coxcomb Hill 2.5 miles 500 feet gained

This was a VERY pleasant surprise, lots of old trees and very interesting terrain. The column was fun and adds another 125 feet to the elevation gain.

January 31, 2014 Bloom Lake 3 miles 500 feet gained

About 600 ft up the trail is this very pretty secluded lake with an awesome log bridge across the water outlet. Nice banks for having a break or sitting in the sun. It would be beautiful in summer, but for us it rained and hailed and was generally more challenging. Want to explore the main trail more as it goes much further.

January 31, 2014 South Fork Rock Creek 1 miles 250 feet gained

Leaving from the Sunset rest area this short trail climbs a bit up the hill in two connected loops and teaches some local history. Lots of nice old growth stumps... I like them better as trees.

January 31, 2014 North Fork Wolf Creek 2 miles 250 feet gained

Short hike with low elevation gain to a very nice marble marker, stand in four counties at the same time. Did it...

January 26, 2014 Hannum Spring 6 miles 2,000 feet gained

An excellent hike up Tilly Jane ski trail to the Tilly Jane A-Frame hut and Amphitheater, up along the Timberline trail to the Polallie canyon trail and back down to Cooper Spur ski resort. The hike along Polallie canyon is particularly beautiful and the waterfall can be seen from the top of the ski runs looking back up the canyon. A tiring but excellent wil...

January 22, 2014 Crampton Reservoir 9 miles 1,000 feet gained

This was another excellent Park exploration hike. Saw multiple species of squirrels, Woodpeckers, Deer, and Kinglets. Beautiful hike around the meadow and along the river.

January 15, 2014 9 miles 1,500 feet gained

Amazing undulating Park hike and could have been extended to 14 miles if we had the time. Nice traverse between different sides of the park and the bat barn was cool protecting a rare bat species. Wide open and lots of views.

January 12, 2014 Nettle Creek 6 miles 1,500 feet gained

Very nice loop around well graded trails and nice bridges, an excellent history lesson along the way. Scenic canyon loop.

January 4, 2014 Diamond Hill 8.5 miles 2,000 feet gained

Amazing traverse around another section of the 24 mile Wilson River Trail. Climb up one the Pinnacle if you dare (not me) and the near scramble up to King Mtn Jr at the end was a workout. Good for those intermediate hikers like us. Good gravel road access to OHV trailhead where the hike starts, and don't miss the waterfall .2 miles down the trail off to the ...

January 2, 2014 Paradise Point 2.5 miles 250 feet gained

Short trip on this weird little park next to the freeway. Could have made it longer and more climbing if we explored the hillside by the camp sites. Nice up and down semi-technical trail along the river and a disk golf course with obvious signs of beaver population too... we will go explore further later.

January 1, 2014 Cedar Mill Creek 4 miles 0 feet gained

A nice walk with the whole family around this flat forested nature park. Pretty creeks and lakes are the centerpiece.
