Re: GoalTechHikes Goat Lake Loop - "Epic Hike" 070118

Was there roughly a week earlier. The skeeters at the TH were brutal but a mile out, virtually none. Saw one person the whole day. Went to the pass next to Packwood Glacier.

Vista ridge trail 06/06/2018

Poor Vista ridge...approx. 90 logs across the trail from TH to TT. All water crossings undercut below snow pack. 4-5 ft drifts at TT junction. Trail hard to follow to Eden Park. Have fun!

Re: Gnarl Ridge from Hood River Meadows

The 6000' point is above where the Timberline trail and the Gnarl Ridge trail merge. The junction of those two trails is just below 5700'. At that point the snow co...
