Day 1 On the weekend of May 21-22, I sponsored a trip to the Columbia River Gorge for my hiking club the Peninsula Wilderness Club. Everyone met at my house at 7:30 on Saturday and we drove straight to our first destination, Hamilton Mountain.
Hayden and I made a trip down to the Gorge and explored a little. We saw the Vista House, hiked the Oneonta-Ponytail Falls Loop, rode our bikes in the Mosier tunnels, drove up Stacker Butte in the Columbia Hills, visited Horsethief Butte, and climbed Beacon Rock.
