I'm headed out to Portland wednesday evening for a long weekend of day hikes in the Columbia River Gorge and, well, beer drinking.


This is my first trip out there since the photography bug has bitten. I own a 40D, a 70-200 f/4 (non-IS), 17-55 f/2.8 IS (my main lens), and a nifty-fifty (my first lens).


As a former Peace Corps volunteer, I'm very much a traveling light kind of guy, and have been thinking of just taking the 40D, the nifty fifty, and my gorillapod tripod. Am I going to regret that not having one of the other lenses?


(And for those who know the gorge, both Larch Mountain and Mt. Defiance are on the agenda.)
