Larch Mountain 2024/3/20

I took a trip up Larch Mountain yesterday to check out conditions. Happy to report, conditions overall were excellent! Specifically, I most wanted to have a look at the washout about 2.25 miles up and answer idoru's question about how that's looking. There's been work done since I last looked (thank...

Re: Multnomah / Wahkeena update 2/1/2024

Not sure. I had a look on 3/13 and it was the same, but I'm looking at the TKO calendar now and it looks like it says they were working on it 3/14?

Re: Multnomah / Wahkeena update 2/1/2024

Have to pop back in here to say how amazing the trail crew is that worked on the washout at Wiesendanger. I knew there was work scheduled yesterday to clear trees from the Larch Mountain trail, and I wondered if they might do something to patch up that washout a little, even just to help themselves ...

Re: Herman Creek TH to Pinnacles, 3/3/2024

I used to access this trail from the other end pretty frequently. At some point I realized that every problem I ever had on this trail disappeared as soon as I passed Dry Creek Falls. Definitely a nicer hike from the other end, with more options as well. The parking lot is an issue, but I usually go...

Re: Multnomah / Wahkeena update 2/1/2024

The slide above Fairy Falls has expanded at the top. Coming down towards the slide the trail is blocked by a mound of earth and a big tree lying lengthwise mostly along the trail. Still not completely impassable, though it looks pretty terrible. I wound up choosing a sketchy route, but having looked...

Trail is not officially closed but access is not recommended. Cross slide with extreme caution." Source of quote : h...

Re: Multnomah / Wahkeena update 2/1/2024

He is not sure if the Forest Service has done a hard closure, and they may not, as this high use trail is an approach and/or exit from popular trails above I don't know about "hard closure," but there does need to be really clear obvious warnings at the trailheads. Especially Multnomah so people do...

Re: Multnomah / Wahkeena update 2/1/2024

I came from Multnomah, so I hit this from the top. I guess that undercut section is what I walked over before I realized what was up. It was just snow and branches, didn't look like anything too out of the ordinary. I guess I'm not the most observant person in the world, because I just saw the trail...
