Boulder Ridge Hike

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.

Wildwood Recreation Site

I went with Lori and Jeanette to explore the BLM Wildwood Recreation Site. Fall was in the air with a cool, light rain at the start of out walk. We started on the Cascade Streamwatch Trail and followed it to the Underwater Viewing Windows. We then switched onto the Trail to Salmon River and followed it up to Old Mill Nature Trail. We did a side trip to look around the Group Picnic Area. We finished up where we started and then head across the Salmon River to Explore the Wetland Boardwalk. We finished that and then headed for lunch at the Smoky Hearth.
