Ecola Hiking

February 28th, 2010     Tags:, ,

On the way home from Yurt camping, we stopped by Indian Beach at Ecola State Park to watch the sunset. While we were there, we hiked up the trail to the lighthouse viewpoint. I captured this picture at one of the viewpoints along the trail.

Neahkahnie Mountain Trail

February 27th, 2010     Tags:, , ,

We hiked up Neahkahnie Mountain on the first day of Yurt camping at Nahalem State Park. It was pretty foggy and the cloudy were rolling in and out. This would be a great spot to hike to during sunrise and sunset.

Drifting at Nahalem

February 26th, 2010     Tags:, ,

We got a chance to do some Yurt camping at Nahalem State Park in the middle of February. We were worried it would be rained out, but it turned out to be a decent weekend. Here is some drift wood where the kids were playing along the beach at Nahalem State Park.

This is a view from the end of Angel’s Rest back towards the mountains that surround the Columbia River. The trail runs along the rocky backbone of Angel’s Rest.

Angel’s Rest

February 23rd, 2010     Tags:, ,

After leaving Multnomah Creek and taking a 3.6 mile hike, I arrived at Angel’s Rest. You can’t tell from this picture, but the sustained winds were quite high. The high winds made for some interesting times on top of the out cropping called Angel’s Rest. This view is looking Northeast into the Gorge.

Low Water Trail

February 20th, 2010     Tags:, , ,

I liked this section of the trail as it travels right next to the river. There is an alternate route that you can take when this on is unpassable due to high water.

Here is a close up view of some of the rapid on the Multnomah Creek. I like the effects that the 10 seconds exposure brings.

Multnomah Creek

February 16th, 2010     Tags:, , ,

Another view of the Multnomah Creek upriver of Multnomah Falls. Even though the Gorge’s winter color is not as spectacular as Spring, this was a pretty nice spot with the moss and evergreens.

River crossing

February 14th, 2010     Tags:, ,

It had rained the day before, so there was plenty of running water all across the Gorge. Here is a river crossing on a side trail close to Devil’s Rest.

Devils Rest View point

February 13th, 2010     Tags:, ,

The top of Devils Rest is covered with trees, so there is little to see. You can get a nice view of the Gorge from a short way down on a separate lookout trail. This is one of the views from that lookout.

After Fairy Falls, I continued up to Devils Rest. Here is the trail which leads to the top of Devils Rest. It was fairly foggy in the morning, but the fog did burn off by the afternoon.
