Newton Creek on Mount Hood 10/23
by SnoWolf
On the 23rd, a friend and I hit Mt. Hood and climbed up the flank of
the mountain separating Newton Creek from Clark Creek where
Mt. Hood Meadows has our inbounds back country; a playground
of epic vastness and advanced terrain. The 50 plus degree pitches,
cliff drops and tight trees makes this the most advanced terrain in Oregon...

Salmon River backpack 10/25 - 10/26
by ufoureah
So there we went off to the Salmon River with my friend who was
going for the first time ever. I thought that would be a great trip
for a first timer. It was magnificent. The trees were in full glory
and the temperatutre a perfect 55 degrees. At night.. we froze!!!
It was well worth it...

Kwanesum and the falls of Moffett Creek 10/22
by Chameleon
Another weekend, another good adventure...This time I made a plan to take the
Nesmith Pt trail to the Moffett Creek connector trail, and then down Moffett Creek
from there. According to the map, it seemed the easiest and most direct way to go,
and with two days of good weather...it should be a breeze. And while certainly a
strenous trip, it did indeed turn out to be one of the most enjoyable times I've
ever spent in the Gorge...

Hospital Hill Nov 16

Sunday I had the opportunity to join three friends for some hiking on "Hospital Hill",
which leads to Burdoin Mountain (elev. 2253'). This massive "hill" looms above White
Salmon, WA and the Columbia River. This trail network above White Salmon's Skyline Hospital
is used by hikers and mountain bikers, and at least one other type of recreationist ...

Join a Work Party! Join the 1 for 100 program!
Give one day of trail work for every 100 miles you hike!
TrailKeepers of Oregon and PortlandHikers.org are working together to motivate hikers to give back to
the trails they love. Every hiker can and should do trail work. We are asking each hiker to perform
one day of trail work for each 100 miles they hike. Especially in the Pacific Northwest - where our rain
forests and winter storms make it a constant battle - Agencies and organizations are struggling to keep
up with demand. Many trails have already been lost due to lack of simple annual maintenance.
Please Help!
For more information on how to get involved, please contact Trailkeepers of Oregon at
volunteers@trailkeepersoforegon.org
There are work parties going out around Oregon nearly every weekend - even during the colder months.
