Trip Report

We walked the trail from the 52nd & Willamette trailhead to the top of Spencer Butte looking for items to clean up after the recent ice storm. Glad to report there wasn't much to do. Did a little raking and pushed some debris piles away from the edge of the trail. Stopped to take a look at the huge log on the Tie Trail that had been sawn through by the Scorpion crew of the High Cascade Volunteers. Icy on the steps to the top and colder weather in the forecast. Still, a pleasant way to end the year
