Hike Distance: 4.3 miles

Elevation Gain: 459 feet

What a great way to end the month of March, with beautiful weather and spectacular views!  Mt. Hood was clearly visible for most of our hike.  My son an I once again set out for a short hike in the Steigerwald Lake and Columbia River Dike area.  There were plenty of people there, as expected on a nice day.  It also helped to have well fitting shoes, that I just purchased at REI, that didn’t jam my toes.
