2/17, Sunday morning. A local winter favorite
Tamanawas Falls. 1.5 hour drive, less than 4 miles RT. Road passable for all vehicles (via Hood River). Gravel and salt were sprayed on the road for de-icing and traction.
Nice day. Not cold. Sun came out at some point. 11 people in our group. Many others. On the way out, there were cars waiting for us to leave (~1pm).
Trail was packed enough that regular boots would work if you are experienced with ice and snow. I wore micro-spikes, carried my snowshoe all the way in and out. Water volume is lower than all of my previous visits. This time, since it wasn't icy, I walked behind the falls.
