    A hangout for the west of us.

    Yeah, I say!

    There should be something out here for the west of us. I've always wanted to go see Hell's Canyon Nat. Park. Since it's a National Park there will be no worries about rules prohibiting attaching anything to trees and I bet there is some fantastic hiking to be had.

    I'd be willing to do some work to make a spring hangout happen if there is any interest. Hell's Canyon seems to be pretty well centered from most of the folks on the Google Map (west side of it anyway). However, it is just a suggestion. If you have a better one, please make it. Just try to keep it somewhat centralized. If you live out west and aren't on the map......HINT, HINT, HINT! Subtle enough?

    You beat me to the thread. You know I'd be up for it. I second Hell's Canyon as it is on my list, but I'd go anywhere if it's within reason for me.

    I'd be up it as well. Hells Canyon is a nice area. I have family that lives at the North end of Hells Canyon in Clarkston. Some great scenery there. Keep us informed.

    I would be into it for sure. One of the places on my list. It would be fun to camp with others in the "Enlightened" mind set as I always get made fun of for hangin by the ground dwellers I hike with.

    Hell's Canyon National Recreation Area along the Idaho-Oregon border? Color me interested.

    Are there campgrounds there with plenty of trees?

    It's a little to far west for me. However, I might hook a ride with Cannibal from the Denver area.

    I'm tentatively interested - assuming life does not get in the way.

    With enough notice I might be able to convince the wife to let me go!

    Hells Canyon National Recreation Area seems like a great idea as a location for most Western hangers in Spring 2009. It's accessible to a big chunk of Westerners for a day's worth of driving. Spring wildflowers there can be beautiful.



    There are trees in developed car campgrounds for hanging.



    Down low in the canyon next to the Snake River, is mostly sagebrush steppe with not all that many trees except scattered "pondoes" and riparian shrubs.

    Unfortunately, we do not get enough time off work and can't commit to attending to a hangout in Hells Canyon. Possibly. It would depend on the dates. The West is big. Hells Canyon is atleast an 8 hour drive from northwest WA. It'd be great to see everybody's hammock rig, especially DIYs and mods.
