Mt. Hood Trail Ride

[swooshdave]

Some folks from the Portland Metro area got together up on Mt. Hood and found some trails. We started on Barlow Road (part of the Oregon Trail). There we found a pretty easy road but the stormy conditions meant we had to cut some trees out of the way. Now I have a chainsaw on my Christmas list for my trail rides. Then we went to Barrett Pass where we found some snow. It wasn't bad so we went on through to Badger Lake. It was extremely windy at the lake. You can see the whitecaps on the lake and it was actually not easy to stand up. Everyone had a great time! This was @WillRCTID second time up there. The last time it was nicer weather.

That looks like a blast. Want to get out on some of the trails just north of you up here in Washington on the west side, in our "Cascades Edition." (Our play on the Everglades Edition.)

Looks like a fun adventure!

Would also like to hear about these. Want to explore more to the north this spring.

Looks like fun! I have a 2 door I take up to Mt. Hood from Portland pretty often. Is it an open group? Would love to get out there with some other broncos.

Bummed to have missed out on this one! Would have been fun to get back up there with a little snow.

Is that on the Bronco Trail App?
Starting off Barlow Road?

Yes, Bennett Pass is a Bronco trail. Barlow Road is just west of Bennett on 35.

We didn't want them to get stuck.

It wasn't much. Plus there had been a bunch of Gambler 500 traffic in the area too.

Once you were in the snow those views were awesome.
