Oregon Hikers

Yes that's the one.

June 1 - There are paths being loved to death and there are hikes than could use a little more boot tread and East Fork Trail #139 is the latter. Trip to trailhead pretty is much as described in Field Guide. Forest Roads increasingly are unmarked, yet the way is clear enough, and the potholes are st...

My March Madness - Solutide n’ Snow IMG_1483.JPG The bounty of recent low elevation snow created transformative opportunities. I typically start out with my little MSR snowshoes bound to my pack and then put them once I’m sure I won’t have to take them off right away Mar 3 & 10 - Beacon Rock State P...

Arrive at trailhead for Bonanza TR786 about 8am and parked just left of the cable. Nothing about the hike to report that's significantly different than previous TRs or the field guide. It's one of my favorite day treks in the area. Very quiet with virtually no highway noise or people noise because i...

Those water locations are very useful TR info - thanks for posting!

Thank you for your brevity!
