Travels with the Original Easyrider®
2013 Edition

Starvation Ridge
Annual Christmas Tree decorating

Note to the anti-American, Obama loving, Portland whack job Atheist
Commie Occupy nit-wits: Its called *CHRISTMAS*... if you don't like it
move to the Peoples Republic of China. You'll love it there!
I'll even help you pack. Plus, when you start your protesting crap over there,
the Government that you love so much will haul you away in the middle of
the night, never to be heard from again. Very Darwinian, I think. And
good riddance.

Our Christmas 2012 visit pictures can be seen HERE.

GETTING THERE: Start at the Starvation Creek Trailhead (I-84 Eastbound, Exit 55) and
head along the freeway on the Mount Defiance Trail for about 0.2 miles. Turn left and
ascend the steep and rocky Starvation Cutoff Trail. 0.4 miles up this little nightmare,
you'll come to a 'T' with the Starvation Ridge Trail. Turn left here and you'll soon
come to a great view of the Columbia River Gorge. From here, the trail switchbacks up
past other great Gorge viewpoints for about a mile. After a while the switchbacks run
out and the trail steepens. It goes up and level, up and level, gaining a lot of
elevation.

This is a very easy trail to follow. The chances of getting lost before you come to
the crossroads 1/2 mile before Warren Lake (which is well past our Christmas tree) are
pretty much zero.



Mount Defiance hike.

Our 2013 trips are HERE and HERE. No sense in going alone on Christmas Eve, 2013, so I didn't :)
