Making the most of any season
My hike yesterday https://www.oregonhikers.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=31153 got me thinking about how uncrowded our trails currently are, in spite of the calm, balmy weather and lack of snow on trails. It's a shame that people aren't out hiking as much as they do in the warmer months. There are p...

Hunchback Mountain Trail, Dec 18, 2023
I'm a skier during the winter, and El Nino has been kicking our butts recently. I've managed once half-day each of backcountry Nordic skiing (in the middle of a rare cold snowstorm), alpine touring (on ICE above Timberline Lodge) and at Meadows (soft groomers). Given the limited or dangerously icy c...

Re: Fall explorations in the Gifford, Lost Creek, Dry Creek and unknown bonus
That's so cool! How are you accessing this LiDAR info? I've noticed that, on Cal Topo (which I use constantly), some areas are frustratingly low-resolution. For instance, I hiked up the Bonanza area, I was fascinated by the very high, very steep clearcut along the MHNF boundary: Screen Shot 2023-12-...

Re: Timberline Trail Backpacking Itinerary and Questions
Good plan! Two things to think about: You may not have heard that glacier creek crossings are easier in the morning: the water flows are lower in the morning, before daytime heat really starts melting water. So if there is a crossing that looks particularly deep and fast, it can be helpful to camp o...

Re: Ugly clear cuts with view of Mount Hood - where are they
I'd be interested to know if the clear-cutting helps increase / decrease the fire danger say in 10+ years post clearcut phase? My thought process says that the mono culture that's replanted probably doesn't help... Just happened to read this all these years later. After the fires in the logged over...
