Treks and Adventures
This was one of our cultural walks with Lori, Jeanette, Sylvia and I to the Clark County Historical Museum. We gathered at the Pearson Air Museum and wondered the streets of Vancouver to the Museum. After our visit to the Museum we wondered down to Brothers Cascadia Brewing Evergreen pub for lunch. We manage to get 6 miles in with all of our wondering.
Back to Beacon Rock State Park for a hike up to Hardy Ridge. I loop back by way of the Equestrian trail this time. By the Numbers: 10 mile, 2200 ft. elevation gain and 5 1/2 hours on the trail.
A short 2 1/2 mile walk on the Fanno Creek Trail going North from downtown Tigard. Lunch afterward was at Cooper Mt. Ale Works.
Wedging in between two rainy frontal systems I got in an exploratory walk of Eastside trail of the Burnt Bridge Creek Trail in Vancouver, WA. During the pandemic Lori and I tried to walk this trail but the area had been taken over by the homeless and the drug addicts’. Although the remanence of that time still remain I did not see a tent any where.
This was to be the last sunny day for a while so I wanted to get out for a hike while it was nice. So I went for Wahkeena up to Devils Rest and some checking out some of the new trails. I had seen post about Wahkeena having a major landslide and that the trail was open again so I want to see what had gone on. I found the slide was major but they had done an outstanding job of getting the trail open again. The hike offered a lot of scenic beauty and some challenges you often fine. All made for a good day out.
By the numbers: 11 miles, 2800 ft. total elv. gain with 7 1/2 hours on the trail
