That really is amazing. We were on Hamilton Mountain, and it was howling over there!

Looks like its definitely microspike season in the gorge right now :) That hike is always so pretty in the snow, thanks for taking the time to post another great TR, Guy. You're a true legend!

Especially loved the shots of that "low-water trail" section, and - for some odd reason - that little crossing below that. (Does that creek have a name? It's running lower than I've seen it right now.) Anyway, looks like a great day!
Yeah "winter creek" crossing area this year almost looks like 2 people moved some big rocks around and made 2 channels to and a crossing platform back in early fall so in the winter it wouldn't be so bad.

Thought the same thing, when I saw it a couple weeks ago! That'd be nice. :)
