Cayah’s birthday wish was to go up to Mt. Hood and hike to Trillium Lake. So we did! I’d never done anything like that and it was both super fun and tiring. We did a lot of sledding, ate snacks on the trail, and made it back to the car in the dark. What an adventure!
I have been dreaming of roller coasters since Oak’s closed last September. But because of Covid-19, we can’t go on any this summer.
Then…I heard about the Alpine Slide on Mt. Hood. Half a mile of twists and turns down a mountain!
It opened with limited capacity, so we bought a ticket online and headed to the hills!
First, you get to take a ski lift up to the top. It was scary! But how cool is that slide??
We went two times and it was so fun. I’m already planning for my longer trip around the whole park next summer!
The northeast was good to me, but it was time to go home. I logged my 7th airport on this trip – Newark! (The others I’ve been to? JFK, BOS, LAX, SFO, SEA, and PDX.)
Perhaps in a couple days, I’ll show off the many drawings I made on this trip.
Good to see you again, Mt. Hood. This sight meant we were just minutes from landing home. Thanks for the fun trip, Grandma and Grandpa!
