You can’t say I didn’t warn you that I was going to be in this area again. Contrary to normal behavior, this trip was a last minute decision so I went out with Sara and Charlie, her mini mutt. The first part of the trail was the same I did a couple of weeks back when I took a group to Barlow Ridge. Contrary to that trip, this time, once we got to the T intersection, we took the other direction staying on the Mineral Jane going towards White River. If Barlow Ridge was amazing, this side actually took the frosting (it actually looked like frosting for the most part). The whole trail was constantly changing from being surrounded by tall trees to small open areas with clear views of Mt Hood. As you will see in the pictures, weather did not cooperated that much but still the views where really great. The last portion of the trail was really interesting as we where bordering a creek that has a lot of fallen trees that you can see by the snow that crosses from one side to the other. Since we didn’t have a destination planned, at some point we decided to stop for lunch in an open area where we had some really nice sandwiches while taking on the views. I don’t recall the sandwiches as much as Sara laughing at me when some snow fell from a tree and hit me on the head while eating. After recovering from that, we headed back on the same trail, which seemed to go up hill all the time, just in time to avoid the rain.
