Treks and Adventures
A hike up Wizard Way Trail at Mt. Hood Meadows. It was haze with smoke so no long distance views. Felt a bit off so did not get as high up as I wanted and moved slowly. But it still was a beautiful hike. By the GPS the hike was 10.3 miles long with an elevation gain of 2380 ft. and toping out at 7150 ft. My moving time was about 6 hours and 2 hour stopping. It was a slow day.
A short walk with Lori and Jeanette around Hoyt Arboretum and down to Goose Hollow Inn for lunch. The forecast was for a good chance of rain but we did get a drop.
This was a new hike for me on the Zigzag Mt. Trail I went from the start of the trail to the where the fire lookout use to be. Trail for the most part was in good shape. I started out at about 1550 ft. and toped out at about 4500 ft. I had a little rain at the start but it clear and was dry the rest of the day. Only met three people all day so very lightly uses trail. Most of it is a walk in the wood the ridge line has some rock faces and cliff edges. Overall, just another hike in paradise.
Hike by the number 13 miles with 3580 ft, gain with 7.5 hours on the trail.
A short 4 mile hike in Indian Heaven Wilderness.
A long hike on Paradise Park Trail on Mt. Hood. It was nice walk in the woods and a good workout. The Numbers – about 17 miles with 3000 ft elevation gain and 9 1/2 hours on the trail.
