Treks and Adventures
A conditioning hike to overlooking Indian Point in the Columbia River Gorge. The trail sequence was Herman Creek, Nick Eaton Way, Ridge Cutoff Trail and Gordon Creek Trail. This takes one through burn forest, old growth, scenic viewpoints and on Nick Eaton Way some very steep trails. The early season wildflowers were in bloom. By the numbers: 8,4 miles, 2790 ft elevation gain in 5 1/2 hours on trail.
A beautiful, sunny day with wildflowers in bloom makes for a great hike of the Mosier Plateau Trail in the Columbia River Gorge. 3.5 miles, 750 ft. gain, about 3 hrs.
Afterward we went to Full Sail Brewery in Hood River for lunch.
Lori, Jeanette, Sylvia and I did a short windy hike at Tom McCall Preserve in the Columbia River Gorge.
I got together with friends to do a walk along the Hood River Penstock Pipeline and the Mosier Twin Tunnels. Each walk was 2.5 mile long.
A hike of Hamilton Mt. with the Cascade Prime Timers. About 8 1/4 miles, 2300 total Elevation Gain, about 5 1/4 hours on the trail and lots of fun.
