Hi Hikers, this month our hike is led by Dave Manville on a route leaving from the Barbur Blvd Park and Ride in the back by the pedestrian overpass, 9712 SW Barbur Blvd, Portland, OR 97219. We will hike over to Foley Balmer cross Tryon Creek and walk the Frey Trail in Marshall Park, then head over to SWTrail #4 and the 1 yr old new no steps route to the Terwilliger Blvd overpass and back via A-Park and Spring Garden Park.
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 August 9th at 8:45
