Oregon Hikers

Maybe the people who manage (and use) Benson State Recreation Area don't want their lots filled with MF visitors, making visits to the rec area more of a problem. Benson is a fee park, and any connection to Multnomah would not be obvious to out-of-towners, or especially convenient if they did know ...

In spite of my strong penchant for introversion, I'd been planning on using the Wahkeena area for some mild conditioning this year and was hoping to bump into Red Shorts That right there is exactly how I became acquainted with him. Still the only person I've ever introduced myself to on the trail. ...

Thank you for letting the community know. We often ran into one another out on the trail, and I've been looking out for him.

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?

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 ...

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...

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.

My favorite was Middle North Falls

Always my fav as well--even with low flow.
