Bell Creek loop, from Multonomah Falls-6.1

Post by turtle » May 31st, 2014, 3:58 pm

Short notice but I just got inspired by this trip report. I'd like to be on trail early; 6:30-7ish, because I move slow and take pictures. I was thinking clock-wise to do the Bell Creek ford in the morning at low flow.

EDIT: Upon further research the Oneonta trail wash-out is still sketchy. See last entry. Start from Multnomah/Larch Mt. tr to Franklin Ridge trail to Oneonta tr, cross Bell Creek and loop Horsetail Creek tr/Bell Creek tr then Oneonta to Franklin Ridge to Larch Mt. tr back to Multnomah. My software puts mileage at 16.5 miles. I figure it could actually be about 18. PM if interested.
Summer breezes caressed me, my legs stepped forward as though possessed of their own appetite, and the mountains kept promising. Rebecca Solnit

Did you go? It'd be great to read your TR. An alternate loop could be made from the summit lot on Larch or from the 315 spur road at about 3000'.
