Hi Hikers, here we go with another year of Hikes in 2025 with SWTrails.org. Come out, get some exercise and join SWTrails on Saturday Dec 14th, 9AM, as Dave Manville leads us on a hike to the Willamette starting from Ida B Wells HS by the food carts. We will start heading down to the River via George Himes Park and then walk the Willamette River Trails/Walkway to the North ending on the 1/8 mile super duper demo section. We will return and head up to the Buhler Cutoff Trail in the Terwilliger Blvd Greenway. From there it’s back to the start. A nice hike but a bit long and with some elevation to help get the holiday excesses diminished.

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 this Saturday.
