> Bright blue skies, and sunshine calls for spring fever even if it's early February. We had to get outside, but neither of us felt like driving for a long time, and I - yes, I admit - did not feel like walking up Mt. Tabor. We needed to find a new hike, within the city limits...and we found out. Marquam Nature Shelter up to Council Crest, about 3.3 miles round trip, and an elevation gain of 820 feet through the woods. We were rewarded with magnificent view of Mt. Hood, Mt. Adams, and Mt. St. Helen's. Both girls did a great job. Can you spot them?
