Come out, get some exercise and join SWTrails on Saturday, Nov 9th, 9AM, as Dave Manville leads us on a 6-Parks plus 1 big new trail route on SWTrail #4 in the heart of SW Portland. Our Park visit list for this walk will include Burlingame, Marigold Hydro, Marshall, Folley, Spring Garden, Multnomah Village, A-park, and Stephens Crossing. This should be a great hike with lots to see and a whole bunch of fall colors. Also, last May SWTrails received a permit from ODOT (Oregon Dept of Transportation) to rebuild the trail from near the SW Terwilliger overpass (SW 4th Ave up to SW Canby St) on the route of SW Trail #4. This rebuild still has some work to be done (hopefully soon) but you will get to see some of what we do when we are not out hiking our trails. And many thanks to the volunteers who have worked on this “SW Canby” trail project. We need you and others back again soon to continue our trailwork.
Join us! And remember, this is our faster paced 2.5 mph average speed hike with usually a 5- t07-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 you hiking with us this Saturday.
