The Morning Drive

The story behind this unassuming road photo starts with a cool early spring morning, there’s still some snow up on the mountains and the usual hiking group is feeling ready to get back out there. Taking the subpar windy roads past Yacolt, WA and through a forest which only lets the sun through the van’s windows in bursts leads you to a lonely parking space on the side of the road where you’ll enviably embark on your expedition. It’s a nostalgic, yet all to current, experience for all hiking groups.

Mt. Hood from Mt. Baldy

This photo, from my first trip to Mt. Hood, is from the easy to approach Mt. Baldy’s Top Spur trailhead. The drive is a little rough, but we made it in an old Honda Odyssey. The trail took us through wildflowers and views of the Mt. Hood wilderness. We weren’t too far from Yocum Ridge, in fact latter in the same trip we did a hike which would’ve allowed us to connect the two.

This trip was a load of fun, we did two hikes nearly each day, and it was my first time in the designated wilderness, that I can remember. This photo is from the second one of the day. Although, if you’ve followed along with my posts on the website any you might be a little confused, simply because this happened before my recent Sunday hiking trip in Mt. Hood (I’ve been doing a lot in Mt. Hood this summer). We stayed our nights in a subpar cabin-esc Airbnb, with better Wi-Fi than at home.

Most of this short afternoon hike was on the Timberline Trail, which holds a ton of Mt. Hood photo opportunities. Being up on the mountain during golden hour is a simple way of making any nature photographer happy. That being said one member of our group was just a little worried about getting stuck up there in the dark. The hike isn’t that long, but for us it was a short hike to wind down before another morning out. If you want to check it out here’s the path we took on Garmin Connect.

The Lost Falls

The story behind this waterfall photo starts with Hidden Falls, which lies just on the edge of Yacolt Burn State Forest, but that doesn't mean it's easy to get to. The hike to is just over 10 miles in distance and 1,400 feet in elevation. Some ride Jeeps down a service road as a shortcut, but my group foolishly saw that as "cheating." So there we where, on that foggy, overcast-ridden, wet, spring Pacific Northwest morning, equipped with barely enough snacks and water for the hike we where about to embark on – we didn't prepare on going all the way – and I with my trusty Nikon D3200. 

The hike to Hidden Falls didn't have much to say to me and my camera, and, once the Pacific Northwest mid-day drizzle started, there wasn't much ability to pull my camera out anyway. None the less, we carried on, at one point, while in a covered section of path, two members of the group wished to turn back and be done with the day, but the last other member and I convinced them to keep on going – this waterfall was supposedly beautiful after all. 

Then we got there. The drizzle made a break and with Hidden Falls masked behind a framing of young trees and mossy rock I snapped this waterfall photo, making the whole thing worth it. Then it was time to do it all over again....

Oh, and for the adventurous, here's the trail, which is a ton of fun. Pack well though, we didn't expect to go as far as we did (and ended up being hungry and thirsty at the end).
