This wasn’t a long hike, but it was a a grueling one. I am in pain right now.

It was a glorious day today! The last time I looked at the temperature in Sandy it was 77 degrees! Oh how I have missed Mr. Sun. I LOVE this weather so much.
Ever since I read Runner’s World trail running issue I have been dying to go out for a trail run. So this morning I bought myself a pair of Merrells with the intention of running the Salmon River Trail. Unfortunately, I am sick with a cold and today was the grinding headache portion of the nastiness. So instead decided to break in my new shoes by hiking the trail instead.
Afterward we decided to check a cabin that is for sale, cheap, in Rhododendron (a little community up on Mt. Hood.) Oh. My. God. It is right on the river and it is the most beautiful spot ever. And now I want to buy a weekend cabin.
Here are some iphone snaps from our day, and a video of the Salmon River, too.

Sandy River Delta

My friend and coworker, Susie, and I go on hikes on federal holidays together. We don’t usually have the same days off so holidays are the only time when we can actually hang out. She is an avid hiker, like me, so we usually hit the trail on these holidays. Last time we got together we went show-shoeing up at Trillium Lake. This time, since I didn’t have my Jeep yesterday (and, thus, no snow vehicle), we decided to avoid the snow and hike instead. We went to the Sandy River Delta. Neither of us had been there so we thought we would check it out. I am really glad we did! It was flat, which I loved. I am not good with hills, so I…

Snow Shoeing at Trillium Lake

As I mentioned, we went snowshoeing yesterday. The second time for me and Raf. The first time was almost four years ago. We had a fantastic time and I don’t know why I waited so long to do this. Mt. Hood is practically in my backyard. Seriously, it only takes about about 30 minutes to get to this place. Here are some photos from our fun day!

High-res version
I went snow shoeing today for the second time in my life and had a fabulous time. We went to Trillium Lake on Mt. Hood. I am knackered though. So I’m gonna drink some hot cocoa, then I’m gonna take a bubble bath (with epsom salt) and paint my nails.
Here is a photo of a raven eating the rest of my friend’s sandwich.
