So, I have a car now, thank you @Apeman! So I thought I need an easy hike since the long winter has me out of shape. So I checked the weather up on the lower part of the mountain… Mt Hood Village… 63F… perfect…
At first all I found was a lot of paved paths along the river… it was nice but I don’t like the paved path stuff… I want trail… and there were too many people and too many screaming kids.
This topographic model of Mt Hood was neat.
They had a lot of cool benches along the paved path…
Then I found the bridge over the river…
Then on the other side of the bridge I saw some stairs going to a dirt path along the river, so I took the stairs. This was the only bench I saw at the beginning of the path and it looked possibly dangerous to get to.
I found some great spots to chill by the water and smoke weed. It was an amazingly beautiful day.
I think this is the ferns growing new fronds…
The trail was kind of overgrown which I prefer because that means fewer people.
I crossed this little inlet twice without getting my feet wet I don’t know how, following this trail up the river…
Another water spot, someone had been rafting or trying to…
Wildflowers are just starting
I was surprised I didn’t see more fungus along the river but it has probably been kind of cool up there til today.
I followed the trail all the way to the end…
Where there was a little trail to the river.
After getting back to the civilized section of the park I discovered the wetland marsh section… 48lb raccoon lol… that would be a monster lmfao
Stuff about bears lol…
Wetland Marsh
Stump of a big tree
