Here is a photo of a trail fresh from today's hike.  I couldn't waste a sunny day, knowing that next week looks to be mostly wet, so I ran to the mountains and enjoyed the early snowfall in the mountains of the Clackamas. From the tracks in the snow, it looked like someone had beat me to the fresh snow, at least half way up the trail. Probably a late season deer hunter, for his tracks wandered around looking down into draws. Anyway from what I saw the deer were up the trail a little higher and even laying down in the tread on several occasions.

This is an abandoned trail in our district.

Well I'll take a guess.  Is it the lower part of the Cripple Creek trail, between the river and the pipeline road?

Kirk it isn't the Cripple Creek Trail, but it does start at the river and goes up.

That post just doesn't look familiar to me.  Got any hints or clues?

Upriver from Cripple Creek or downriver?
