Re: is Columbia Omni-Heat effective?
My review after short trip around Wahkeena-Multnomah loop. The long sleeve omni-heat shirt was too warm. Had to take off my top layer and was down to just the omni-heat shirt until a bit on the ridge where the wind was blowing. I now know why I don't use this shirt very often. I should carry it as a...

Re: is Columbia Omni-Heat effective?
Just put on my Omniheat base layer long sleeve shirt that I had not used this year. Sitting in house before hike and now remembering why I don’t wear this too often. Sometimes it gets me too warm. I will try it today and report back results.

Re: 2021 Snow Level
On the 420 trail today between Wahkeena and Multnomah Basin, there was between 3-6 in. Was slushy in Multnomah basin but on the ridge was firm.
Neat pick up stick logs on Wiesendanger Falls.

Re: Slide emerging on Larch Mountain Trail 441?
Looked about the same today when I went by. I think all the heavy rain coming in will cause this to move further.
I think we need to change the name of one of our forums to “Off Trail Chip Reports”!

Goats on St Helens - 10-29-2020
It was a beautiful day for a hike in late October. Coming up the Ape Canyon trail we had great views. Because of the lack of snow, goats were much easier to find.

Re: Elk Killed by Tree?
Or maybe the elk slipped, fell and hit his head on a downed tree?

Re: Elk Killed by Tree?
Unusual to stumble upon such an occurrence, but not such a remote possibility in the natural world: http://tetzoo.com/blog/2019/5/31/death-by-falling-rocks-and-trees I was drawn to the story because, when visiting the Pyrenees in Spain, I viewed Celia, the very last Pyrenean ibex (well, except for ...

Re: Elk Killed by Tree?
A women was headed this way on the trail with her dog. I forgot to mention the elk skeleton to her. I bet she had problems getting her dog past it. This trail has had a number of surprises. We also saw 6 goats way up on the mountain.

Elk Killed by Tree?
On the Sheep Canyon trail above the Toutle drainage there is an elk skeleton. It appears the elk was killed by a falling tree.
The tree and the elk were not here at the end of August.
