There were parts of the trail that were fairly narrow with cable ropes attached to the rock on one side, and a sheer drop off on the other. We were shocked to see several families hiking with infant children and wearing flip-flops no less. They could have easily gone over the edge.
Getting the fire started was a true test of will and determination!
The key to a successful camping trip is a) warm sleeping bag and b) proper ground support. We spent the extra bucks and each bought a Therm-a-Rest, and it's made all the difference. With both of our recent camping trips we've woken up refreshed and relaxed. SPEND THE EXTRA MONEY, it's so worth it! I hit the jackpot at Joe's last weekend and found an $89 Asolo sleeping bag on clearance for $15. One of my better finds...After spending Saturday night sipping Rosemount Shiraz and roasting marshmallow s'mores by the fire, we drove into Portland on Sunday and spent several hours at Powell's Books (the world's largest bookstore!) and ate dinner in the Pearl District.
