Oregon Hikers

Thanks so much, everyone! I really appreciate good to see alternatives to the over crowded Enchantments Icicle Ridge - especially the eastern parts - is absolutely fantastic, and, relative to the Enchantments (or even to Robin Lakes or the Mt. Daniel area) basically deserted. Related, and perhaps of...

One of my favorite loops in the Gorge - thanks so much for posting!

Here, finally, is the second, back from Sno...

Thanks so much for reading everyone! I really appreciate it, especially as I haven't had as much time as I'd like to hang out here for the last while. Hopefully you go back past the Tank Lakes etc! I'd planned to, but I was weirdly tired the day I went through there, and ended up just doing the shor...

But then 202...

I wish I had more time to still post reports. I'm still hiking as much as ever...

Thanks so much, everyone!

Oh man, I know: I pass through the main hospital at OHSU on my way to work sometimes, and... yea. Things seem bad.

Krista had been on furlough since March and had to be near internet at least once a week to submit her unemployment claims, and anyway money was too tight to go an...

Thanks so much Brad! I always really look forward to your TRs too. This is the second time you mentioned the route direct from Glacier Pass to Eagle Cap. Meant to do that this year, but next year for sure for me. It's such a fun area! I've actually gone up three ways: one from Glacier Pass staying o...
