Treks and Adventures
We had nice weather, that gave use a chance to head to the mountains for a hike. Lori, Jeanette, Sylvia and I went up the Lower Salmon River trail to do a 6.5 mile out and back hike. This trail runs next to the Salmon River in one of the last old growth forest left in Oregon. Afterwards we went to have a late lunch at Smokey Hearth in their out door seating area.
Lori, Marilyn and I were going to do a snowshoe up the White River on Mt. Hood but once we got there we found we could just hike it with micro spikes. Nice sunny day. About 3.5 miles. Afterward we went to Smokey Hearth for lunch.
This was hike with Lori and Merlyn to Palmateer Point and a great view of Mt. Hood. We had a blue bird day with mild temperature and no smoke. We had some fall color and more mushrooms.
This was a lollipop hike at 7.5 miles and 1100 elevation gain. We left out of the Barlow Snowpark on the PCT. We switch off on the the Palmateer Point trail to then use a connector trail to get to the Twin Lake Trail. The Twin Lake trail would take us back to the PCT and back to the car. After the hike we went to Smokey Hearth for for lunch.
A snowshoe at Trillian Lake in the Mt. Hood National Forest. 5 1/4 miles, 500 ft. total elevation gain and about 5 hours out enjoying a beautiful day. Late Lunch afterwards at the Smoky Hearth.
