Re: Multnomah / Wahkeena update 2/1/2024
Honestly surprised that this is the storm that caused so much damage and not the January one. I went up that trail just before the ice storm in mid-January. Several fallen trees from the heavy December rains that caused the Fairy Falls slide had been cleaned up, but at the start of the switchbacks,...

Re: Red Shorts followed Bobcat up Primrose Path
That's cool, I have seen bobcat tracks in that area as well. I like seeing those on a hike! Cougar tracks on the other hand, no thanks...

Re: Palmer Mill Road Side Paths
There's lots of random stuff on the slopes of Larch. I apparently went up your "H" route in snow in 2019 (side note Arlo, I think you went on your first snowshoe trip up there the day after I did?) - it was brushy and not fun. Oh yeah, I forgot about that! That route is pretty easy to follow now, s...

Palmer Mill Road Side Paths
Over the last couple years I’ve been parking at the snow gate on Larch Mountain Road and walking down Palmer Mill Road to explore the user trails and old logging roads south of Devil’s Rest. In the process, I’ve noticed several user paths leaving Palmer Mill Road on the uphill side. This weekend I d...

Re: Palmer Mill Road-Devils Rest-She-Devil-Vacuum Cleaner Loop 11-14-23
Don, those old maps are fascinating! Do you know... 1. What's the difference between the double dashed line (like the one around "Bridal Veil Cr.") and the single dashed line (like the one that extends north to Angel's Rest)? I assume the solid line with tick marks (like the one that wraps around th...

Re: Palmer Mill Road-Devils Rest-She-Devil-Vacuum Cleaner Loop 11-14-23
I love exploring this area! Instead of following the Palmer Mill Road route through the creek restoration area (purple), you can follow a series of user trails and old roads to get to the same place (green). Trail fairies have been clearing this route and flagging it where it's faint and it's pretty...

Re: Larch Mountain Road closed 2023 season
Looks like the paving project is finished and the road is now open until its normal winter closure: https://www.multco.us/roads/larch-mountain-road

Re: Salmonberry River Steam Donkey Hunt, Oct. 6th, 2023
This is awesome, thanks for sharing for anyone who wants to try it or just enjoy it vicariously ... I'm not sure which category I'm in! The rail lifted by the trees is amazing. Also, I like the sign you left there.
