Larch Mountain Conditioning Hike

Activity Notes

Classic Columbia Gorge conditioning hike on the first weekend of spring. It's now been 2.5 years since the Eagle Creek Fire transformed Lower Multnomah Creek. Most of the ascent past the creek is at it ever was, and if we're lucky we'll get great volcano views from Sherrard Point. Snow is expected on the trail, so gaiters and traction devices are advised. Also, warmth may be experienced at the trailhead, but it will almost certainly be cold at our destination. Our pace will be brisk, but we'll stop for layer changes as appropriate.
