Adventurous kid-friendly hikes in the La Grande area

Hi all, We are spending the week around La Grande, and I'm seeking out some interesting kid-friendly hikes in the area. The criteria for my intrepid seven-year-old hiker: within an hour's drive of La Grande, between 2-6 miles and less than 1,000' elevation gain, and not crowded. Here's a few ideas I...

Re: SW Oregon kid-friendly hikes

Thanks for all the great suggestions, everyone. If you were to pick one or two spots for scenic kid-friendly hiking in the Boardman Corridor, what would those be?

SW Oregon kid-friendly hikes

Hi all, We're PDXers finally taking some time to explore SW Oregon, and are looking for suggestions for kid-friendly hikes in the area. Specifically, our six-year-old can manage over six miles and 1,000' elevation, but our sweet spot is around three-four miles. We'll be based either at Humbug Mounta...

Wallowas, kids, and huckleberries

Hi all, I've been to the Wallowas a couple of times now, and know that there are limited hiking options for young children such as my son, an intrepid almost-six-year-old who can hike 3-5 miles on a good day. That said, I'm wondering if you might have any suggestions for us beyond the known kid-frie...

Foliage this weekend

Greetings all,

We were considering a trip to Jefferson Park tomorrow or Saturday, and wonder if there is any fall color to take in at this point? Are there other spots in the Cascades that you would suggest for good foliage viewing? I did spy a Salmon River Trail report that looked fairly inviting...

Thanks Eric! We're heading out tonight, so no worries if you don't have time to find the spot before sending on the GPS info. Much appreciated!

Re: Getting close to Chief Joseph

Please do PM me with the GPS, many thanks! Although our main goal is well before the ridge top, wherever those Joseph views start emerging (any idea at what elevation that happens?)...

Re: Getting close to Chief Joseph

Thanks again, Eric. Is that video from your trip report here? http://www.portlandhikers.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=13073 If so, I think we may try this user-made trail on for size as an out-and-back hike. How far up would you say the views of Chief Joseph start to open up (i.e. where you took th...

Re: Getting close to Chief Joseph

Many thanks for the advice! While it does sound reasonable, I'm concerned that my less-travelled companion might not be so keen with the proposed scramble up the chute. My main concern is getting a closer look at the pink limestone face of Chief Joseph, specifically the area I've marked in the attac...

Getting close to Chief Joseph

Greetings all, I'm most intrigued by the striated pink face of Chief Joseph Mountain that is visible from Mount Howard. After perusing trip reports here and calling the Forest Service, I'm told there's no approach that gets a better look of that side of the mountain, barring heading to the summit ri...
