Hike #8 (12/7/13) Gorge Ice

With temperatures at -10 including wind chill I knew that this weekend was not going to be about an epic hike but rather exploring as many different waterfalls and ice features as possible.  We set out to drive the length of Columbia River Highway, hiking up a few trails along the way.

Check out he yellow road sign for reference as to how large these icicles are!

Each Branch can hold an awesome amount of Ice!

Please don't hike here (stay on paved path)

Hike #7 (11/30/13) - Silver Falls State Park

Since we were in the area of Silver Falls for Thanksgiving dinner #3, we took advantage of the "great weather" and hiked the upper loop that goes under Silver Falls and Lower North Falls.  It was great to get out and burn some calories before eating so much Turkey and Honey Baked Ham!

Hike #6 (11/29/13) Council Crest from Twilliger

Since it was "Black Friday" I got dressed all in black and hit the trails.  The Marquam trail up to Council Crest is one of my classic training hikes but I mixed things up a bit this time by starting on Terwilliger Blvd. and trying out the new "Flicker" section of trail.  http://www.portlandoregon.gov/parks/54709
