Mt. Hood: July 08' #3

Another view of the Mt. Hood, in the clouds.
We had to go to the bandanna route with the intense sun on the snow. Our faces got sun burnt the first day on the snowboards.
The youngster boardin with the masters, Weez and I. Isaac in the white.


Carving down the mountain in July, yeah!!
The board room at Timberline Mountain Lodge. We stayed in one of the bunk rooms.
The last day in the mountains, Friday. Mountain biking and 4-wheeling on mountain jeep trails and hiking some great hiking trails. We accessed a mountain ridge east of Mt. Hood . We parked the truck on a cliff ledge and mountain biked to some switch-back hiking trails. Weez and I checked out the mountain flowers along the way. The last bike ride was climbing up a jeep trail that followed a cliff band. Then descended back down to the truck. Good times!!



There was still some snow in the deep forest, some we could ride through and some we had to hike-a-bike through.

That was it from Mt. Hood. This was our 3rd trip out here and it is always a thrill. It is the ultimate summer Adventure. With snowboarding, mountain biking, hiking and 4-wheeling on some great mountain terrain, every day was 18 hours of Good Times!!
