Two nights of backpacking with Meetup friends at Siouxon Creek.
Backpacking in to the Bold Camp Shelter campsite, located next to the Lower Lewis River.
How I converted from being a hiker and car camper to a backpacker – starting at one of my favorite hiking destinations.
Catherine Creek is located east of the Cascade Mountains on the Washington side of the Columbia River Gorge. With open grasslands, ponderosa pine, and oak woodlands, the scenery is quite different from the western side of the Cascades.
Popular with mountain bikers, the Gales Creek trail travels gently up and down the hillsides beside Gales Creek through a coastal rainforest of Douglas fir and red alders, with a thick understory of ferns and oxalis.
