Friends Of The Gorge hike June 11, 2005


fording the east fork of Herman Creek  -  This turned out to be cold but easy.

climbing the rockfall  -  This is hard but easier than back in the woods.


the view from the rockfall down into Herman Creek


steep climbing in the woods  -  This was some of the best off-trail hiking I've found in the Gorge.


some nasty  brush (and it was wet) - An off-trail Gorge hike isn't complete without some vine maple.


I thought this was a particularly nice part of the ridge.
It was steep but the way was clear. 

This is near the top.   It was raining , but the wind was so strong that only one side of you got wet.  And we couldn't see much of anything, a true mountain experience.

This is what the same place looked like two years ago on June 6.
