Temps in the 40s and sporadically rainy. Only 2 other cars in the parking lot when I started. Wasn't sure if I wanted to go all the way to Devils Rest or not when I started. Encountered snow about 1/4 mile past Angels Rest and didn't want to post hole my way to the summit, so I took the first branch of the Foxglove trail and looped back.

It's been a couple years since I last hiked this. Had a narrow window to squeeze in a hike today and this was a great option. Close to town and not difficult at all. Not crowded on a weekday.

Short hike through IH Wilderness with Kaila and Joey. Trailhead was crowded with lots of cars parked outside the lot, but we were fortunate enough to find parking. Hit the trail around 1pm, most people were already on the way out and threatening clouds were gathering overhead. We chose to loop through the old cascade crest area in order to increase solitude. Huckleberry bushes are in full fall color right now.

Stopped for a quick visit with Kaila & Joey since this was along the route we were driving up Lewis River area. Some nice old growth to look at, but not a place you would want to go out of your way to visit.

Hiked southbound on the PCT to Wood Lake (first time visiting it when it is snow free) then returned back via the Sawtooth Mtn Trail. Beautiful day following the first real rain we have had in months. Huckleberry bushes are turning crimson and gold, most of the berries are long gone.

Hiked up to Cast Lake, then west along the ridge to West Zig Zag Mtn and back down. Trailhead access is rough: 4x4/high clearance needed. Lots of solitude- only saw 1 other person at Cast Lake. Trail is never hard to follow, but it's a bit rugged and the section along the ridge was overgrown with bear grass and rhododendrons which wasn't super fun.

Hiked up Gnarl Ridge via Elk Meadows Trail. Very smoky on the drive to the trailhead- I couldn't even see the mountain through the smoke, but fortunately the smoke layer was hanging low below 2000', so the hike itself was completely smoke free. Perfect temps and not too many people on trail. Summer is coming to a close on the mountain- the flowers are gone, huckleberries are disappearing, and the evenings are starting to get a little chilly.

Spent an afternoon wandering through Indian Heaven Wilderness. Started out by hiking to Deep Lake and snorkeling for a bit. Then went over to the Old Cascade Crest trail network and did some off-trail navigation to look at some remote ponds and meadows. Along the way I came across a couple of use-trails that I didn't previously know existed.

Started from Top Spur Trailhead around 1400. It would have been clear skies- but the PNW is blanketed from smoke from forest fires, which I guess helped keeps the temps a bit more tolerable...

Took the optional turnoff to Bald Mtn (not worth the view in the smoke) then took the long/main route up to McNeil Point and returned to the trailhead via the scramble route. Very enjoyable hike.

Serene/Rock Lakes Loop via Frazier Road Turnaround Trailhead. Access road is as bad as it's ever been- very rocky with some deep potholes, it makes for very slow going for the last 4 miles. Only 1 other car at the trailhead, everyone else uses the easier Shellrock Lake access point.

Temps in the 70s with mostly clear skies. There was smoke to the south from the Janus complex fire burning in Bull of the Woods, but the wind was keeping it out of the area I was hiking it. Nice loop as usual, with more blow down than I remember in the past. One of the picnic tables at the TH has been smashed from a downed tree and the turnaround area is completely obliterated.

Only encountered a couple groups of people, all of which were camped at Serene Lake.

Hiked up to Cairn Basin via Mazama Trail then did a loop through Eden Park and returned. Not my favorite access point to the Timberline Trail as it goes through a long burnt section and felt longer than the Vista Ridge Trail. I was also a bit disappointed by Eden Park- it's okay, but not really worth the time to hike to when there are so many other more epic views just down trail in every other direction: Elk Cove, Dollar Lake, Barrett Spur, McNeil Point, etc...

Hiked up to Timberline Trail via Vista Ridge Trail, then followed the route up to Barrett Spur and looped back down via Dollar Lake. Beautiful clear day, perfect temperature. Not too crowded for a Sunday. Route to Barrett Spur was easy to follow, wind at the top was pretty fierce- but eventually died down. Sat at the top for a while listening to rock and ice fall and soaking up the views.

Hiked from Cloud Cap to Elk Meadows. Both Elliott and Coe crossings were over knee deep and raging when I crossed in late afternoon and were on the edge of my comfort zone. Still early in the season so there are some downed trees and the occasional snow bank to navigate, but no real issues. Mosquitoes were very minimal and only made a brief appearance at dusk/dawn. Took a brief detour on the return trip to follow an old trail up along the eastern ridge of the Coe Glacier, but was running low on water and energy so I didn't explore as far as I would have liked.

Took refuge from the extreme heatwave in the many creeks, lakes, and ponds of Indian Heaven Wilderness. Started from Thomas Lake Trailhead around 3pm. My truck showed the temp was 98 degrees and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. Only 2 other cars in the parking lot.

Headed out to Elk Lake trail via the Old Cascade Crest trail system. Went swimming in a couple of lakes and then lounged around until sunset. Mosquitoes were annoying when sitting still at camp, but with bug spray and treated clothing they didn't actually bite. Most appeared very small and would only just have hatched.

On trail at 0500 the next morning. Made my way back south on the PCT to Eunice Lake, then headed west along the Old Cascade Crest again to shorten my return hike. Mosquitoes were worse on day #2 and much larger, probably a combination of lower temps and dropping in elevation, but they started to swarm when I was moving and were not fully deterred by bugspray when I stopped. Still had fun, but will probably wait a couple weeks for the hatch to die off before returning to hike anything at this elevation level.

Quick jaunt up the falls to get some elevation gain in before summer arrives. Headed up Multnomah Falls to Multnomah Basin Rd, then followed it west to Devils Rest Trail and back down via Wahkeena.

Started from the old Eagle Creek Trailhead and hiked/jogged up to the Wilcat Gravel Pit and back. Douglas Trail doesn't get much use, so I had the trail to myself, despite there being a couple other cars parked at the trailhead. Bushes and shrubs are starting to encroach on the trail in a couple spots, but route finding is never an issue.

Did a loop using School Canyon Trail and Little Badger Creek. Started around 2pm and immediately dropped south off trail into a smaller feeder canyon that funneled me down to the Little Badger Creek trailhead after about a mile. Followed Little Badger Creek up past the old cabin, then switchbacked up the ridge to meet School Canyon Trail. Topped up water at the spring, then had an early dinner at the helispot before hiking back in the fading light.

Wildflowers are at peak right now. Dogwood, Balsmroot, Paintbrush, Lupine, Wild Strawberry, etc... Only encountered 1 other group of backpackers.

Hiked with Chris up to Hamilton Mtn, then decided to extend the trip by hiking up to Phlox Point. Hiked out via the equestrian trailhead and road walked along Kueffler Rd & Hwy 14 to get back to the trailhead we started from. Day started out nice and sunny and ended under a light rain. Trail wasn't very crowded.
