We'\;ll visit on a day the pa rking lot shouldn'\;t be too crowded and at a time of year when we shou ldn'\;t overheat\, though when scheduling this in August I'\;m uncer tain about the air quality. \;\n\nThis is a spectacular hike completel y open to the elements\, and we can see Smith Rock State Park'\;s surro undings for miles. The highlight is seeing Monkey Face from several angles . We will also encircle the park from the north\, taking the Summit Trail\ , Burma Road\, and Wolf Tree Trail back to the park'\;s bridge. We will hike 7.4 miles\, gaining 1\,900'\;. Note that this day hike requires t win three-hour drives. \; URL:https://mazamas.org/activity/instance/15716/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Larch Mountain (Multnomah Falls) DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20261031T053000 DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20261031T200000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260910T201412Z UID:activity_instance:15717 DESCRIPTION:Larch Mountain from Multnomah Falls is a hike that starts out on Oregon'\;s most-hiked trail\, ascends Multnomah Creek\, and eventual ly enters a subalpine zone where it could be much cooler. If the skies are clear\, we'\;ll get a view of our surroundings from Sherrard Point.&nb sp\;\n\nWe will hike approximately 14 miles\, gaining 4\,000'\; on Hall oween\, back in time to trick-or-treat with the little ones in our lives. Because we will likely arrive Multnomah Falls before they open the restroo ms\, we will make a rest stop at the Troutdale truck stop. \; URL:https://mazamas.org/activity/instance/15717/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
