Training: Nesmith Ridge hike, Columbia River Gorge


I joined a Mazama 4-man team today for a nice leg burner up the little-used bushwacking "Nesmith ridge" route starting above Elowah Falls, topping out at 3800' Nesmith Point, descending the usual route. A nice adventure making it a loop route! Snow above 1500' and snowshoes needed above 2700'. 5 hours up, 2 hours down. More photos here.
