Hi Hikers, this month our hike is led by Andy Fortier on a route leaving from Wells HS near the Food Carts and Hiking on SWTrail #6 and other streets up to Council Crest Summit. The return will be down SW 18th and Nicoli Woods route to Sunset and back. This hike will have a bit more vertical 900ft than usual so gauge your conditioning before you so this one.

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 June 14th.

For more information or to volunteer to lead a future hike in your neighborhood, contact us at walks.swtrails.org or use our web form on the Walks page HERE to get in touch.
