May 26, 2011 Stacker Butte 12 miles 3,000 feet gained
Left PDX at 6 am and drove to Horsetheif butte in search of the flower broomrape. We did indeed find some and this was a very beautiful area. Next we drove to Dalles Mountain Ranch and hiked up to Stacker Butte. We saw 4 deer, tons of birds, tons of flowers and zero people on this hike. Next was Catherine Creek to check out the Arch and to find some Bitterro...

May 24, 2011 Panorama Point 8 miles 1,000 feet gained
We left SE Portland at 6 am and headed down 26 until 35 to get to hood river ( I know long way but we had never been on hwy 35). First we went up to Hood River Mountain and it was very rad, saw my first fairy slipper orchid and chocolate lilly! Once near the top the views were amazing and the hills were covered with paintbrush and balsamroot sadly the lupine...
May 12, 2011 Bridal Veil Falls 6 miles 1,000 feet gained
Went a huntin' for wildflower and we found them! I have been waiting all year to see the Camas at Bridal Veil State Park and I was not disappointed!
April 27, 2011 Wahkeena Falls 5 miles 1,500 feet gained
Nice loop starting at Multnomah falls parking lot and headed over to Wahkeena. The springs were roaring and we didn't see anyone until the connecting trail with Larch mnt. Nice hike but I can only be on the Multnomah trail once a year because I get so mad when I see all the garbage.
April 9, 2011 Horsetail Falls 2.5 miles 500 feet gained
Took some friends on this nice hike. Lot's of people and parents not watching their kids on the cliffy areas almost gave me a heart attack!
April 7, 2011 Elowah Falls 2 miles 250 feet gained
Went to see Elowa today and it was just as nice as always : )
April 7, 2011 Munra Point 2.5 miles 250 feet gained
Another gem of the Gorge and she was a roaring!!!!!
April 6, 2011 6 miles 1,000 feet gained
Second hike I have done for the Forest Park Challenge. This was a nice hike, only saw one person (trail running), and the mud was not as bad as last time!
March 31, 2011 Windy Point 7 miles 1,750 feet gained
Start of wildflower season!!!
March 17, 2011 Doane Creek 12 miles 1,000 feet gained
Part of the Forest Park Challenge!
March 10, 2011 Wind Mountain 3 miles 1,000 feet gained
Steep hike but nice, I made it to the last talus crossing and stopped because of slippery snow and strong wind. Hope to get back there soon.
March 7, 2011 Moffett Falls 5 miles 500 feet gained
Nice hike but I freaked out on the cliff area near McCord Creek Falls. After seeing the two falls we hiked past Elowa to the Gorge 400 trail I think and we followed that for a ways.
February 14, 2011 Oneonta Falls 4 miles 750 feet gained
Started at Horsetail Falls and went up to Triple Falls.
February 9, 2011 Cape Meares Lake 2 miles 250 feet gained
side trip to Cape Mears for Cape Lookout, and we got nice weather!
February 3, 2011 Smith Creek 10 miles 1,000 feet gained
Fun hike but very icy in spots!
January 27, 2011 Eagle Creek Trail 3 miles 250 feet gained
This was my second attemp to hike Eagle Creek, I failed again and only got to the second cliff area where you can hold onto the cable. I really really want to hike to high bridge but my fear of heights has not allowed me as of yet. Poor BertMoss she has been with me both times when I freaked out so she hasn't been able to get farther either.
January 27, 2011 Wauna Point 4 miles 1,000 feet gained
Did all of this hike but the last 30ish feet because the sound of the power lines were freaking me out, went with BertMoss.
January 26, 2011 Ridell Lake 3 miles 750 feet gained
Hiked late afternoon with BertMoss to Pool of the WInds.
January 19, 2011 Ice House Lake 10 miles 750 feet gained
BertMoss and I started below the Bridge of the Gods and we hiked the Pacific Crest Trail to the Herman Creek trail and from there to the pinnacles then we back tracked to the bridge and we attempted to find Dry Creek Falls but we went the wrong direction : )
January 6, 2011 Mount Talbert 3 miles 250 feet gained
Easy hike around a public park, hiked with BertMoss
