Rudolph Spur Way Trail 06/11/2012



Rex led this hike to  Rudolph Spur Way Trail.  Rudolph Spur is an unmaintained trial straight up with a little bit of route finding.  We parked at the Char Burger in Cascade Locks. We then went on the PCT, towards Dry Creek before veering off towards a climbers trail to Rudolph Spur.




Mt. Adams 



Group shot on a lookout, we could see Mt. St. Helens, Mt. Rainer and Mt. Adams.



We hiked down Ruckle Creek trail which was a rare treat because of it is so well maintained.

Wauneka Point & Nesmith Point Loop 06/06/2012



Wednesday I went with Tom on a streounous hike up to Wauneka Point & Nesmith Point Loop.  We started at John Yeon State Park.  This is Elowah Falls.




This is McCord Falls.




Here is where things got a little interesting.  This was an unmaintained trail up to Waukena Point.  Here I am fording McCord Creek.




A group photo; I believe this is called "the gap"
