On a trip. No bike, but pretty scenery and wonderful bike roads.

Before we landed in Portland.

Same Mt Hood, just from the road.

Melted glacier

That is some of the prettiest scenery in the country. Mt. Hood sure has a lot of snow on it.

Looks like a perfect time to visit. My last trip there was when I rode out and the Mrs flew into Portland. We rented a car to get around and see the sights. I then continued riding up thru Washington and back home while the Mrs flew back but not before finding the Columbia clothing outlet store.

The high yesterday, according to our car thermometer, was 52*. We could see Mt. St. Helen in the distance and it's also covered in snow. Adventuring up today.

The road to the top of a peak overlooking four volcano peaks was closed. Instead, we hiked to waterfalls.

Awesome nice pics! Being in north Texas it’s easy to forgot what geographic beauty and nature looks like (nonetheless livable temps). I’m pretty jealous of people that get to ride in the pnw.

Thanks for the pics, brings back some great memories. I and a buddy rode the Trask Mtn 2-Day ISDE qualifier in '86. Loved the scenery etc so much I and my wife flew back to Portland when she got a vacation later that summer and we rented a car to do what y'all are. 1100 miles in just one week, so much to see out there. This spurs me to plan another trip.

I did some serious hiking up Mount Hood about 20 years ago - it was incredible

The Oregon coast is beautiful, but too cold for the average person to swim even during the Summer months. One of the benefits of losing my memory is seeing it again for the first time.
Haystack Rock and other beaches.

If your schedule allows, I highly recommend Crater Lake! It is stunning and well worth the drive out to it.

 

[humanrace]

We're heading in that direction. I was there in July of this year and wanted to share it with my wife.

I love the view just around that corner down onto the beach. It has to be one of the prettiest on the west coast.

Agreed. I like how I can look left and watch waves crash into cliffs, then look right and see waves gently washing onto a 150 yard wide sandy beach.

OK, that does it! Plan in the works.

Face Rock

Natural tunnel carved by waves.

Sister volcano in Oregon. Lava is only 1800 years old.

How rude.

 

[LicketySplit]

No restroom confusion there...

Along the Columbia River Gorge in the Dales region of Washington.

It's cool today. 36* when I took this picture.

My speed equals the temperature.

I hate when the snowflake lights up on the dash.

Enjoying it all!

One last day of hiking. We made the most of it by hiking to waterfalls.
