what type of clothing

Post by lrgpizza » April 19th, 2018, 8:24 am

We will be visiting early June and are fairly new hikers. What kinda clothes would you recommend? Anything special to add into backpack?

We plan Silver Falls, Munson Creek, Cape Lookout, Tillamook, and around the Gorge pending what is open.

June is close to the solstice, and therefore has quite variable weather. It can be in the low to mid 80s. It can be raining and in the high 50s or low 60s.

At the Oregon coast, plan for some rain. You might not get any rain. It might be stunningly gorgeous weather, but as a native of six decades I do not spend time on the coast without bringing rain protection. Ever.

Silver Falls State Park trails are mostly deep in a shady gorge. It will be cooler down there than anywhere that's nearby, but higher up away from the creek. A light fleece jacket and a folding umbrella would probably get you by on most early June days. Again, it might be fantastic weather with bluebird skies and shirt-sleeve temps.

The Columbia Gorge varies from cooler, wetter west end to the hotter, drier east end. It also has many trails that are heavily shaded in the bottom of river gorges, or which climb up on sun-soaked south-facing ridgelines where oaks, not firs, grow due to the limited water supply. The currently closed trails tend to be centrally-located on the Oregon side. The currently open trails are at the far western or eastern ends of the Oregon side, or else are over on the Washington side. Even if the skies are blue, always bring a windbreaker!

Have fun. Happy hiking!

I would go with synthetic fabrics (nylon/elastane). The problem with humid climates is your sweat doesnt evaporate very well. So you cant cool down as effective.

Also, I have one personal question related to gambling,

I've just had my first experience with an online casino and I'm very happy with the result. I really didn't know what to expect from others other than what I read, and to my surprise, playing online is as easy and fun as most of you have mentioned both here on the forms of this site, and on other sites, I have visited, as well as gambling information sites. From the first time I downloaded and installed the casino to my first casino credit purchase at the casino, it was really easy to do without too much hassle.I found out about this casino with play using free bonuses, from this website here https://casinobonus-ca.com/. I have always been nervous about playing online advertising. I don't want to get carried away, but I believe I can control myself.
Hi
