Timberline Trail Backpacking: Day 1

Hiking the Timberline Trail this weekend, which circumnavigates Mount Hood. Currently hiking CCW from Timberline Lodge to Elk Cove. Knocking out about half of the mileage today to relax the next two days. I slipped in Newton Creek and soaked my right foot. Having a great time though, so good to be back out in the wilderness!

Timberline Trail Backpacking: Day 2

Ramona Falls and the recently reopened Yocum Ridge section of the trail were highlights on day 2. This section is passable but there are still some serious parkour challenges to overcome. I ended up almost competing the trail and camping in Paradise Park. Awesome day. I even got to meet nostr:npub127gyfdcxt0z02qutad5u549s47vwnqtdpkxky603ac8qsjsdn66qrj6xnr, who was on a day hike!

I don’t have the energy to post photos from today yet but these should give me the energy. Stopped by Voodoo Doughnut on the way home as a treat for smashing the trail.

Timberline Trail Backpacking: Wrap

I made it back to Timberline Lodge before sunrise, so I completed the trail in about 49 hours. Took the Mountaineer Trail up to 7,000 feet to see sunrise from above Timberline Lodge. Amazing! First time seeing the Silcox Hut, which was originally built as a warming hut for mountain climbers.
