Public Tracks
Wahkeena - Multnomah (via Vista Point Trail) Loop
Nice day the sun was intermittent. Snow covering the trail difficult traversing in spots. Not many people until you descend in to Multnomah Falls area (but that is to be expected). I had micro spikes for my boots but never used them. If you want a bit more traction bring some spikes or poles. Really enjoy the contrast between burnt trees and white snow. As always waterfalls are beautiful.
