Yeah- I'm not sure what exact patterns the motorized crowd follows, but I do know that weekdays are less ...

Paulina Peak Nordic Ski, March 20, 2024

This ski trip isn't through such a wild, awesome landscape as that of my recent Tam MacArthur Rim trip https://www.oregonhikers.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=31257&view=unread#unread , but does offer even more expansive views.

Tam MacArthur Rim XC Ski Camping, March 18-19, 2024

This is a great overnight destination that might interest some hardy snowshoers and spring hikers, so I thought I'd make a trip report.

I’m fully prepared for winter hammocking, but I don’t have spikes, shoes, short skies, or other snow going items.

There are some good suggestions in this thread:

Re: 2022 and Beyond - Snow Levels

pct snow.jpg This kind of snow bank was the bane of my existence when I moved here. I was itching to get out hiking my first spring, but was always annoyed by the difficulties of snow-only-on-the-trail hiking.
