Oregon Hikers

acorn woodpecker - Sounds like I could clear the smaller one for sure, and maybe the big one depending on its lay. Could you be a bit more specific on how to get to it? I've been on the 400 only between Eagle Creek parking lot and the 777, and between the Wahclella Falls parking lot and the logs in ...

This would be older information, but I did an overnighter into Bull of the Woods via Dicky Creek last July and stayed just off of Big Slide Mountain and looked down into the Lenore and Welcome Lakes basin from the peak. The area was completely burned around the lakes and surrounding areas (with the ...

To Eric: I've never seen anyone on ROA, either, and I've done the hike 4 times. I've taken folks to see the ROA arch a handful of times and have run into people who are coming up only as far as the arch on the way down once. However, I think I've always done the hike on a weekday so that might have ...

Firstly, I don't know whether this hike belongs here since these are user maintained trails I was on. I consider the other trip report forum for established "official" trails and certain old/closed roads and this forum for anything that isn't. Am I correct in that assumption? Plus, due to the weathe...

Just saw the final work on this today on my way up to Wauna Point. There is another large treefall on #400 about a quarter mile before the first power line clearing where two trees have fallen across relatively flat terrain. The larger one laid to rest about 4-5 ft. above the trail and the smaller o...

Thanks for the kind words, everyone. I wish I had taken more pictures of the lenticular clouds, but alas, I did not. They were pretty amazing to the south of Adams. There were some to the southwest of Rainier as well, but not nearly as striking as the former. The coyote sure was a sad sight. I wish ...

I know this is the third post for this same hike this week, but the previous TRs (thanks Pablo and VanMarmont!) gave me the muse to go up myself and experience great views and warm temperatures from the pesky inversion. Actually, I only made it up to Pt. 4060 (Indian Pits) due to limited daylight. T...

Nice post. I wondered how conditions were on the Tanner Trail and where the snow level was to necessitate snowshoes. A truly balmy day, indeed. I spent it on the other side of the river at Silver Star. TR coming soon.

Thanks everyone for the advice about picture posting. Hey Turtle, I remember meeting you above Cedar Swamp up Herman Creek back in April. We had a good chat by that great campsite I stumbled across you at. We lamented about the trash left behind in Cedar Swamp. Did you ever get the note I left you a...

Starting off the new year by finally creating an account and posting hikes after 3 years of lurking. Thanks everyone for all the information you regularly post here. I have deepened my knowledge of the area because of all the time and effort you all put in to your posts. I am grateful. Now it's time...
