Activity Notes

HIKE LEADER : David Rempel, ph.# 928 587-0511; email: crempel2@yahoo.com; ASSISTANT HIKE LEADER : Emily Carpenter, completing her provisional hike for Hike Leader badge. START : 7:00 a.m. Gateway/99th St. Transit Center P&R, plan on being there 10-15 minutes early to check-in and organize carpooling. TRAIL HEAD : 8:15 a.m. Tom, Dick & Harry TH LUNCH : At the top WEATHER : Watch the forecast going into the hike to know what to expect and how to dress/prepare (see Leader Notes for more information). This time of year is about my favorite for hiking Tom Dick and Harry, it is cool and Mt. Hood is gorgeous in it's white mantle. The popularity of the trail should provide for a well-stomped down trail.  REQUIRED GEAR : Trekking poles & foot traction (e.g., Yaktrax, microspikes, etc.) do not expect to need snowshoes this time of year--if needed I will let you know. Drivers  will need to have  tire traction devices  on board (e.g., chains, studded tires, etc.) REQUIRED PASS/FEES : Drivers will need an Oregon Sno Park (available at REI or the Zigzag Ranger Station). Hike sign-up on Mazamas website requried. UNDER 18 YRS OLD PARTICIPANTS : Require signed parental permission slip presented to hike leader at start; those 13-14 yrs old must be accompanied by parent/responsible adult (as identified in permission slip).
