THREE HIKING SISTERS, we love to hike together, but we don't all live in the same state. Sometimes it is only two of us, and sometimes we hike with others. This is a record of some of our hikes.

Shasta Loop Trail
We drove to Rowena Crest, between the Dalles and Hood River, to hike the short Shasta Loop Trail (one mile). It was very windy making it difficult to get good photos of the wildflowers. Beautiful area!

Mill Creek Ridge Preserve
We drove out to Mill Creek Ridge Preserve to see the wildflowers. We hiked mostly along the trail to the northwest up on the ridge, then up to the top of the knoll along the southeastward trail before returning, our route was 3.4 miles with 350 ft of overall gain.

Once we reached the ridge we headed to the right towards Mt Hood, views along the way including a zoom of Mt Hood
