Timberline Trail/Timberline Lodge

August 22^nd, 2011 – Timberline Ridge/Lodge Trail

Time: 1 hour 15mins

Attendance: Me, Sage, Cheyenne and Remington

Distance: 4.4 miles round trip

Difficulty: Super easy. Its all flat.

            We did the easy hike at the Timberline Ridge. From the parking lot to Zig Zag Canyon. This was our first hike with Remington. He had a rough time paying attention for about the first mile, and then he mellowed out some. By the end of the trail back, he was mellow. My guess is that he could do a 5mile hike and be good. So I am going to stick with that for awhile and see how he does. This trail was easy, flat and kept the kids and dog entertained with the snow patches. It was also our first hike on Mt Hood this year, and my first hike on the Timberline Ridge. Wow! The flowers smelled absolutely gorgeous, Cheyenne even mentioned we should take some home so that our house smells good. I say we do that trail again but do the 12mile loop called Paradise park. But I will try and be patient for the day the kids are up for that. :o) 

notice Sage carrying the hiking book. He loved to read it during the hike.

Remington sure loved the snow.

Lots of patches of snow during august.
