It's been a while since I've posted up a boulder for #bouldersunday so I have a doozy For ya today.
My oldest is in town from college this weekend so we decided to go for a hike this morning. We settled on the Starvation Ridge Loop trail in the Columbia River Gorge.
We had about a half hour drive to the spot and we started down the main trail. Our turn to go up the trail and around the loop was .2 from the parking area, but when we got to the trailhead the trail was closed due to a slide.
This area was part of the Eagle Creek fire in 2017. Most the trails are opened back up but they do close on occasion, as we found out.
We continued down the Starvation Creek trail for a while, but it is directly next to Interstate 84 so we decided to turn tail and head home. But not before we came upon this #boulder
This basalt boulder was huge. It's hard to see in the picture so let's go around the other side to get some perspective...
It's just kind of out there by itself.
