SUMMARY:1st Thursday Monthly Work Party - May 7th
DESCRIPTION:Help us help the trails for our regular 1st Thursday Work Party on May 7th\, 2026\, from 9AM to Noon at Dickinson Park (10555 SW 55th Ave\, Portland OR 97219). This month we are working on SW Trail #5 at the South end of Dickinson Park. We will be reforming and cleaning some trail drains\, armor the trail surface\, get out some weeds. Possibly we will work also up by the playground on the new trail placed earlier in the year.  This is the normal Spring work getting trails in shape for lots of walkers and hikers as the weather warms up. Our partners and leaders for these work parties are Portland Parks and Recreation Natural Area Stewardship. \nWe will meet near the playground on SW 55th\, parking is limited so park at a diagonal in that small area. The big white Portland Parks truck will mark our gathering spot. \nIf you plan to join in the fun\, give me a heads up on email\, (reply to this one) or text (503-753-8186) with your name and “I Will Be There”)\, I can then pass a head count to our Parks leaders. It is also OK to just show up on the workday. Please be at least 15 minutes early (8:45AM) to our work parties to get signed in and be ready to go. \nWe will be using lots of time-honored trail tools\, the Grubber\, McLeod\, Pulaski\, and wheelbarrows\, shovels\, rakes\, pruners\, saws\, and more. Tool use and safety will be covered as we start the work party. These are fun community events\, and we need volunteers in 2026\, please join us\, everyone is welcome and no experience is necessary.  Youth participants must be at least 14 years old without a guardian and at least 10 years old with a guardian. \nAs always\, our work is guided by the Portland Parks Natural Area Stewardship folks. Parks will bring all the tools\, gloves\, and materials we need\, and also\, possibly\, coffee\, snacks and water. On these work parties it is not necessary to stay for the whole event\, and you can work at whatever level your skill and energy allow. It is just great to meet the neighbors and get in a little trail work exercise. \nWhen you join us\, please wear work clothing\, sturdy closed toe shoes\, long pants\, long sleeved shirts. It is the Pacific Northwest who knows what weather we will get but several layers are always a good idea. If you like\, bring your own water and snacks. We may walk up to a 1/2 mile out and back to our work location\, but usually it is much less.

SUMMARY:2nd Saturday Hike - May 9th
DESCRIPTION:Name: 2nd Saturday Hike – River Front Wander with Tilikum Bridge over and back and more… \nLeader: Dave Manville \nStart Location: Meet at 5221 S Corbett Ave\, Portland\, OR 97239\, Elephants Deli out front. The parking in this area is sketchy; I suggest carpooling if you can. There is on street parking on several of the side streets a block or so away from the Elephants Deli on Corbett. Do not use the deli parking. \nStart Time:  9 am (arrive 10-15 minutes early so we can start promptly at 9am) \nDistance: 6.3 miles\nElevation Change:  300 ft.\nPace:  2.5 mph avg (our faster paced hike) \nBus Service: give a call if you need transportation \nHi 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. \nSWTrails 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. \nJoin 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. \nBring 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. \nWe look forward to hiking with you Saturday\, we always find lots of fun along the way. \nUse our web form on the Walks page HERE to get in touch.

SUMMARY:3rd Saturday Walk - May 16th
DESCRIPTION:Name: Marshall and Tryon Parks HI-LO Link\nLeader: Bonnie Birch\, Deb Small\nStart Location:  SW 18th St. Parking Lot\nStart Time: 9 am (arrive15 min. early so we can start promptly at 9am)\nDistance:  3.6 miles\nElevation Change:  less than 100 ft.\nAverage Pace:  2 mph\nBus Information:  Due to schedule changes\, check Tri Met for bus information\nSpecial Notes:  The route may have damp spots and certainly has roots\, rocks\, etc.  Walking sticks are recommended for those that need them.\n\nWe will meet in the small parking lot on 18th Pl.\, which is south of Taylor’s Ferry Rd.  If the lot is full\, there is street parking on Collins Ct.\, just south of the park entrance on the other side of the road. \nThis out-and-back trek will continue our exploration of the new HI-LO Trail that we did last month.  It will take us on the portion that connects Marshall Park to Tryon Creek State Park. We’ll walk through idyllic Marshall Park\, past the playground and over the stone bridge.  Crossing Maplecrest Dr\, we continue on the trail through the southern part of Marshall Park\, past the treehouse\, and into the quiet\, forested neighborhood on 11th Drive. We’ll wind our way down 11th\, turn left at Arnold St. and proceed down the steps to go under the Boones Ferry Bridge. (If steps are a problem for anyone\, crossing can also be done by just continuing on Arnold and crossing Boones Ferry (with care!) to meet up with the group on the other side of the road). We then walk a short distance on Boones Ferry to the entrance of Tryon Creek SP at the North Creek Trailhead. We’ll dip about 1/2 mile into the state park\, and then return the way we came.  Be aware\, some portions on this section are quite steep. \nBring a snack\, water\, good footwear\, and dress appropriately for the weather (raingear? sunglasses?). Note that smoking on our walks is not permitted for health reasons. Kids and well-behaved pets on leash are welcome. Restrooms are at times hard to come by but we will try and find one along the way.  Check the weather before you walk.  Right now rain is predicted for Saturday and cooler than it has been.
