Welches Holiday Parks

Those of you who were reading my discoveries back in March will recall a rather...um...extended discussion about the battle my partner and I had with the Cold Creek Trail leading to Devil's Peak.

We fought the snow, downed timber and five times losing and re-finding the trail only to have to stop about a half-mile from the end; hip deep in snow and a bit forlorn and defeated.

Well, today we returned to the Cold Creek Trail. There is no snow on the ground, but with a 2,300-foot elevation in a little more than three and a half miles, it managed to whoop us pretty well anyway.

Still, the bete noir is vanquished. The hill has been climbed.

I'll have more on this in the near future, but for now, take a gander at the fire lookout at the summit. No longer active, it is still maintained (by whom, I can't tell you), and serves as a first-come-first-served camping spot, fully equipped with cots, a wood stove, and a ukulele.

Yeah, that's what I said: a ukulele.

Top Welches Hotel Reviews

Mt Hood Oregon Resort, BW Premier Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Rhe process was a"

Salmon River Waterfront Cabin w/ Hot Tub! Dog Friendly!

10/10 Excellent

"Loved that the kitchen had spices and everything we needed to cook meals. It was a bit cold in January to utilize that awesome covered porch, but looks amazing for summer. We loved making fires inside the wood burning stove and used the fire pit outside as well. The river view was fantastic! Bathrooms are a little cramped, but I was so thankful we had three of them. Loved the record player and the cabin vibe. Host was flexible and responsive. Thank you for sharing your cabin with us!"

Creek-side cabin with private hot tub & fireplace - near hiking trails & slopes

10/10 Excellent

"The cabin was cute and cozy and the bed was like a cloud! It was peaceful and the gas fireplace was enough heat. My only complaint was the internet was constantly dropping even though it said it was connected and the signal showed as strong. Even though there was a storm and the lights went out, I felt safe and was able to complete my stay. "
