I was out this time for a longer and higher hike then I had done for a while. This hike started at Wildwood Recreation Site. I signed in and made my over the the start of the trail witch is a long walk in the woods. The first couple of hundred feet can be the hardest part of the the having to get over the wet slippery rocks. After that I started on a series of steep switch backs to get up to the start of the ridge. From here it is a steady moderate climb up to meet that Plaza Trail. I took that trail up to a great view point of Mt. Hood, the summit of Huckleberry Mt. and to Bonanza Tr. This was my turn around point to make my way back. I did about 14.5 mile with 3450 ft. elevation gain in 7 1/2 hours.
