Clapsot Loop Hike

Lori, Jeanette, Sylvia and I were off for another hike on the Oregon Coast. This time we did the Clapsot Loop Trail at Ecola State Park. But before that we did a little scouting of Chapman Beach and it’s access to Bird Rocks. Sylva and Mark hosted us again at their summer beach house at Seaside for beer and snacks. The hike was about 5 miles long and 750 ft. elevation gain.

Hardy Ridge Hike

Weather once again did workout on a hike up to Hardy Ridge. Clouds and hazy hampered getting good views of the Gorge. Few flower left to see. I did about 8 miles and little under 2000 ft. elevation gain

Old Salmon River Trail Hike

I was out this time Lori, Jeanette and Sylvia for an easy 5 mile hike along the Old Salmon River Trail in Mt. Hood National Forest. This trail is one of our favorites with easy access to a scenic river and old growth forest. It is an easy trail to hike and well maintained. After the hike we went to Scooter’s for lunch.
