how soon is the road to todd lake open? i would like to camp and climb from there as soon as it is clear of snow. any info would be helpful even if its vague. thanks

quote: there is no reason to climb that chosspile from todd lake. the route actually starts several miles up the road, but from the sounds of it that whole south side isnt any good.so what route do you reccommend? northwest ridge from green lakes? or another? thanks

true true... i guess the etrex summit with the altimeter and electronic compass are worth the extra bucks. the altimeter could come in handy since the one on the base model etrex is often off by as much as 100'. my vote is now for the etrex summit, for value and features.

spray it dont say it

hey did you end up going? i went today the 15 and it was beautiful...made it to the devils kitchen and turned around...from the lack of partner and experience...good times though

hood river, or is a nice town. expensive housing, enough jobs, a nice place. within a half hour of both mt adams and mt hood. great skiing. mt biking galore. some of best PNW kayaking and some say the worlds best wind surfing...

yes they can fine you. a ranger has given me a small peice of paper detailing where i could send my money and where to get a permit next time. just be polite, theyre just doing their jobs.
