6/18. Cloudy then rain. 10 of us started from Bonneville Hotspring Resort ($5) in nice cool weather. Well groomed trail, a bit muddy at the moment. Dick Thomas Trail en route to Carpenter Lake (no lake). Right fork, followed the Two Chiefs trail as it winds its way up to Greenleaf Creek (see photo, very small cascades). Greenleaf falls itself is above and we had no view of it. Supposedly you can scramble up to see its splendor. We walked a few hundred yard back to a rocky+mossy opening for lunch. By then, it started raining. 
When the rain lightened a bit, we continued back, and then turned north onto the PCT. With Zack's lead, we followed a series of user trails to the old lookout atop Aldrich Butte for great Gorge views. It was clear enough. Continue a tad bit further on the narrow ridge for better view. On the way down, one guy hurt his knee, so we were very slow. I got tired of the pace, went ahead and wait at the parking lot. Then, it poured. I hurried into the resort to avoid getting soaked like the rest of the group.By the time we got back to Portland, it was sunny! It was only 4pm. Total about 9 miles, 2000'.
