Quick jaunt up to Pioneer Pt. Trail in good condition, saw a fair number of people on the trail.

Decided to go up the Gorge and see what conditions were like. Hwy 14 and I-84 are now clear and easily passable, although lots of branches and small trees down from the recent ice and snow storms. Started up the Cape Horn Trail later in the afternoon. I did the whole loop about a month ago, the trail was clear except patches of packed snow and ice near the top. Now the entire trail is covered with snow, not too deep but icy patches all along. Lots of down branches, no large trees that prevent access along the trail. I got up to the first viewpoint (about 1.5 miles) and turned around as the day was getting late. Be sure you have poles and good traction boots - the trail at the viewpoint was very icy and slick, so I kept back from the edge!

Went out for a quick loop; finished in 2hrs total. Awfully muddy, especially going up from the trailhead and down just above the highway. Still a bit of snow on the trail at the top before Strunk Rd.

Beautiful day. Lower trail was passable and had beautiful and pastoral views. Falls were amazing icicle sculptures from the cold. Upper trails and switchbacks were pretty difficult going at times. The snow had refrozen in previous footpaths. Definitely go prepared with ice traction for your boots and a good walking stick. Mine saved my butt a few times.

Excellent hike with rewarding views the entire way, and a waterfall to cool off in about 2/3 of the way through! Only issue was rocky areas, where hiking poles would have come in handy. Bring sturdy boots with good ankle support, but it's do-able! There are good signs most of the way. When you get to a paved road, you turn to the left and walk about a mile up the road before re-connecting with the trail, passing back under the highway, and making it back to the parking lot. Highly recommend this one for those looking for a moderate climb and great views!
