Weekend on the Salmon River

June 5, 2019

Is this thing still on?

A short while ago, Lindsay and I moped to each other that we had not had a vacation since Christmas. Poor planning on our part. So, as you can imagine, we were thrilled to spend the long weekend with our brothers Myles and DJ and DJ’s girlfriend Olivia in a beautiful cabin nestled in the woods near the lush Salmon River just off of Mount Hood and only about an hour drive from home.

We leave after work on Friday and are pleasantly surprised that in less than an hour we arrive at the cabin. I can hear the Salmon River nearby and am grateful that the house is surrounded by trees. What a perfect spot to spend a long weekend.

Timberline Trail

November 22, 2015

Some hikes remain engrained in your memory for years to come. This is one of them.

We have done a lot of hiking within 100 miles of Portland - but somehow never anything northwest of Mt. Hood off of Lolo Pass Road near the PCT. We hoped to encounter our first glimpse of winter's beginnings on the mountain.
