Indian Point Hike

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.

Mosier Plateau Hike

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.

Hamilton Mt. Hike

A solo hike to the summit of Hamilton Mt. in Beacon Rock State Park. Also added some other back of park exploring on. Did about 11.5 mile, 3000 ft. total elevation gain with about 6 1/4 hours on the trail.

Clackamette Loop Walk

Weather called for rain so Lori, Jeanette and I decide to stay closer to home and do the Clackamette Loop. This route combines walk ways through several different parks and a little bit of road walking. We did about 4 miles and managed not to get to wet. Afterwards we drove a shot way to Rivershore Bar & Grill for lunch.
