SUMMARY:Cascade GSMDC - Pack Hikes
DESCRIPTION:Date(s) of Proposed Pack Hike\n\n\n \n11/23-24/2019\n\n\nEvent Name\n\n\n \nStrawberry Island Back-to-Back Pack Hikes\n\n\nSponsoring Club\n\n\n \nCascade Greater Swiss Mountain Dog Club\n\n\nHike Location/Address/Directions/Map\n\n\n \nStrawberry Island in North Bonneville\, WA\nDrive I-84 east to Exit 44 for Cascade Locks and Stevenson. \nAfter 0.4 miles\, bear right for the Bridge of the Gods ($2 toll) and Stevenson. \nDriving over the bridge for 0.7 miles\, make a left at the junction with Highway 14W for North Bonneville and Vancouver. \nDrive 4.2 miles and turn left onto Bonneville Drive for the town of North Bonneville. \nGo 0.1 miles to a junction and bear right onto W. Cascade Drive. \nProceed 0.4 miles and make a left turn onto Portage Drive. \nIt’s 0.2 miles to the trailhead parking area behind a baseball diamond. \nI can’t find a great trail map\, but this is somewhere go a lot. This is the best I can find\, the three red flag spots show the loop and if you zoom you’ll see there is a road that goes along the perimeter so access if somewhere to get injured: https://www.oregonhikers.org/maps/load.php?lat=45.6304&lon=-121.9792\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBrief Trail Description\n\n\n \nTrails lead from North Bonneville around Hamilton Island\, which was noted as “Strawberry Island” in the journals of Lewis and Clark\, who remarked upon the abundance of strawberry runners they saw here. The current name remembers Samuel M. Hamilton\, who took out a Land Claim here in 1850 and had a mountain\, a creek\, and an island named after him (The” island” is now connected to the mainland). This hike is notable for its views to closeby features in the Washington Gorge\, such as Beacon Rock\, Hamilton Mountain\, and Table Mountain\, as well as some unique views across to the the Oregon side\, taking in Munra Point directly across and some waterfalls not normally seen except from the Washington side of the river. Cottonwoods fringe part of the island shore\, while the interior is mostly a grassy expanse. In the late summer and early fall\, low river levels allow adventurous hikers to cross to Ives Island\, west of Hamilton Island\, and locate the remains of old fishwheels as well as make a much closer approach to Beacon Rock (See the Ives Island Add-on Hike). Also\, a trail leads from the east end of the island to join the short walking circuit around the Fort Cascades site.\n\n\nHike Coordinator Name\n\n\n \nBruce Detore\n\n\nHike Coordinator Phone\n\n\n \n(206) 931-8539\n\n\nHike Coordinator Email\n\n\n \ncascadeswissyclub@gmail.com\n\n\nEvent fee\n\n\n \n10\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nType of Hike\n\n\n \n8 Mile back-to-back – 2 Day (16 miles total)
