Zigzag river

October 31st, 2009     Tags:, , , ,

I got this view along the Timberline Trail after getting to the bottom of the canyon, crossing the Zigzag river and starting back up the other side. The river was fairly easy to cross unlike how it would have been a few months ago.

Zigzag Canyon

October 28th, 2009     Tags:, , , ,

My second hike on Mt Hood was along the Timberline trail. I started at the Timberline Lodge and headed West to Zigzag Canyon. The trail was half covered with a foot of snow which made for some slow going in spots. I have to remember to bring my micro spikes next time. Here is a view of Zigzag Canyon from the Zigzag Canyon viewpoint. This is a four photo panorama.

Little grew up on the ridge we hiked to before heading down into Avalanche Valley. This side looked a lot of Mt St Helens. We will have to explore more of Mt Adams to see what the other side looks like.
