Hi hikers. Our regular 2nd Saturday hike this month will be a new route that takes us to some places we have not been in a while. We will start at the Elephants Deli on Corbett and make our way down to the Willamette River trail heading north then cross the Tilikum Crossing Bridge and return and head further north down past the Poets Beach and to the River Place Marina and Shops. On the way back we will take the Gibbs Street Pedestrian Bridge and wander our way back to the Deli.

SWTrails still needs hike leaders, hike ideas, and a Hike Coordinator so let us know if you have a favorite hike we could do, or if you have the volunteer spirit and would like to organize these hikes. It is a fun and rewarding adventure.

Join us! and remember this is our longer and faster paced 2.5 mph average speed hike with usually more than 6-mile distance and some moderate elevation change.

Bring a snack, water, good footwear, and dress appropriately for the weather (raingear? gloves? sunglasses? sunscreen? many layers?). Note that smoking on our hikes and walks is not permitted for health reasons. Kids are welcome and well-behaved pets on leash are welcome also. We always try and find restrooms along the way on these hikes, but sometimes it is several miles to find one so prepare accordingly.

We look forward to hiking with you Saturday, we always find lots of fun along the way.
