Steigerwald Lake Hike Saturday June 13th, 2015

Join us for our first hike of the season this Saturday June 13th at noon.

I have been loving this warm weather! My summer goal is to spend as much time outdoors as possible. At least once a month I am organizing a group hike. These will start close to home with short, 3-4 mile flat strolls and we will work our way up to longer and more difficult hikes. We start this weekend at Steigerwald Lake Wildlife Refuge. This will be my first time to this area, and from what I’ve heard we are in for a treat. This flat, easy trail along the water is a short drive from Portland and a good spot for birding with views of the Columbia.

We will be leaving Sellwood around noon. You are welcome to carpool with us or drive yourself. Plan to be gone from noon to 5 pm. Please bring water and a snack for yourself. Also wear or bring clothes and shoes that can get wet. Depending on the weather we may stop for a dip along the way.

Forest Park hike this Sunday May 1st

This Sunday May 1st we are headed to forest park to hike to Pittock Mansion.  This is one of my favorite in town hikes.  The first mile or two meanders along a creek, then turns into some surprisingly steep switchbacks towards the top.  If the sky is clear the view from the top is amazing!

Meet us at lower Macleay park (NW 29th and Upshur) at 9:30 am.  I am allowing about three hours for this 5 mile hike.  Please wear layers and bring water and a snack if you think you will need one.  Call Anne for more info 503-705-4762.
