Oregon Hikers

Thanks for the suggestion of Tongue and Juniper. Shortest access appears to be through Randle, correct? (I attempted Sunrise Peak from the Trout Lake side.) I am not sure when I will get around to that but you can be sure I'll try really hard to find the current condition. I just got back from a lov...

Rd 2342 was repaired at great expense about 5 years ago. It was closed for several years. When I hiked Sunrise the year after they finally opened it again, I thought how wonderful it was that hikers got something good from a road repair rather than a permanent road closure. As is usually the case, ...

I actually did check both AllTrails and WTA before leaving, with no indication of a closed road, but such user reports shouldn't have to be the source for planned closure information. If there's not an official page I have missed I do indeed plan to call and give someone an earful. I am going to try...

While this area is largely inaccessible due to the Mitchell Point and HCRH construction projects, Google Earth now shows rather brutal logging on both sides of Perham Creek in the latest aerial series. That was a pleasant wooded area when I walked it two and a half years ago. I still cannot find an ...

Thank you. Yes that works. I checked the maps and you can use that trail to reach the Old Scenic Highway/NE Frontage Rd which then becomes the Historic Columbia River Highway which lets you run into Portland. Thank you so much. Gorge Trail #400 meets the HCRH at (45.58424, -122.09084) at an unoffic...
