I finally put my Dog Mountain pics up: go here to view. I particularly like the pair of jonboi_net's back as the clouds retreated up the Columbia like a glacier. Only much faster. Although, you'll note, his shirt had enough time to dry!
It's been quiet in here lately. I propose we switch that up by doing a Max-Accessible hike on either Saturday or Sunday. This will allow people who are nervous about riding with a lot of hiking weirdos out to an undisclosed remote location to feel more comfortable with the whole situation

making the trip down to crater lake this weekend. recommendations for your favorite hikes and camping spots? we're thinking back country, but having never been there, i'd love a little guidance.
Yesterday morning jonboi_net, rekre8, and I got an early start and hiked up Dog Mountain. The loop we did was around 7 miles (see the link for loop options). The day started in an eerily foggy way.
A reminder that we're hiking Dog Mountain tomorrow morning. We're meeting rekre8 at the trailhead around 8am. The drive from PDX should take around 1 hr 15 min IIRC. If the SE DHers want to go, we can meet at the Walgreens at SE 39th & Belmont. We'll need to leave around 6:45am, so I can be at Walgreens around 6:30am. I don't think they'll be open

rekre8 has proposed a hike on Dog Mountain. This is actually a pretty difficult hike: 6.9 miles, 2,800 foot elevation change. But there should be plenty of chances to catch our breaths take in the view.
I'm not sure what day rekre8 had in mind, but Saturday mornings have worked pretty well in the past. What say you?
Taking my honey on a single overnight pack trip this weekend, since he's (we've) been out of hiking shape. Looking for Gorge area trail that does not start with a fricking 1000 ft climb

Is one able to hike right into the south end of Ecola State Park by beach, or is it strictly drive and park? I'd love to get out there this weekend with my son by taking the Tillamook Bus over to Cannon Beach but, frankly, I don't own a car/bus/truck/motorcycle/jetpack, and flying dragons haven't been released to the public yet. Thanks.
