#39 Panorama Point.

Last time I went to Powells (a HUGE bookstore in where I spend an exorbitant amount of money) I decided to buy a book called 'Curious Gorge' by Scott Cook. It lists a ton of good hiking spots around the Gorge with details and interesting facts on each trail.

I'M OBSESSED WITH THIS BOOK!!

It's witty, simple and gives you all the really important details, including average hike time, difficulty, distance, and if you should be on the look out for poison oak! Seriously, if anyone plans on spending anytime in the Hood River area, BUY THIS BOOK!

Anyways...over the long weekend I decided to bust out the book and try a few of the trails. The first one wasn't really a trail, but more a viewpoint. Panorama Point shows all of Hood River Valley with the gorgeous Mt. Hood in the background. My camera was quite pleased to get put to good use!
