I'm flying to Disneyland tomorrow to help chaperon the Tigard High School band and dance team. But before I leave town, we decided to get in one more outdoor Spring Break adventure. We initially had grander plans but decided to stick close to home and hike Angel's Rest at the Bridal Veil exit on Interstate 84.Several cars were already in the parking lot when we arrived mid-morning at the immensely popular trailhead. It was a bit chilly and the wind was whipping. We made it up in about 50 minutes and planned to take a nice break at the top and enjoy the view. But very strong gusts prompted us to stay just a few minutes.
We saw few people on the way up, but the trail was getting crowded on the hike down. Large groups were headed up as we were returning to the car. As we expected, the parking lots and roadside were packed when we reached the bottom.It was a quick up and down - enough to exercise the legs, lungs and heart. I wish the wind had been calmer so we could hang out on the summit. But it was a nice outing before I fly away to Los Angeles.
