Angel's Rest (3/22/2009)

Instead of heading somewhere tropical, our Spring Break 2009 started with a snowy hike in the Gorge. Tim and Steve joined the fun at Angel's Rest at I-84's Bridal Veil exit.

We knew the weather would be questionable, but we're always up for an adventure. As we gained elevation, we could see the storm systems coming at us down the Gorge. It was very cool! Just as we reached the top, a shower of snow/hail hit. Little Styrofoam-like pellets soon covered the summit.
A new section of trail has poor drainage and caused a bit of a challenge. If you look closely at Tim's leg, you can see the result of slipping in the gooey, pudding-like mud.Still, we had a great time getting out and experiencing nature in all its stormy glory!
