Council Crest

We had an urban hiking adventure in the rain Saturday!

We parked at the Marquam Shelter on Sam Jackson Road and headed uphill to Council Crest. Surprisingly, it was my first trip to the historic Portland landmark.

Low clouds, and just a little view to the south:

Trying to get us and the sign with the camera that doesn't have a front viewfinder. Fail:

Fail:

Oh - good enough!

What do you get when you cross a black lab and a basset hound? A very odd canine!

There are a ton of trails in the area, and we had to stop several times to consult the map. I'd like to go back sometime and explore more.
