Join us as we explore a different area this Saturday.  We’ll be meeting in the parking lot of St Andrew’s Presbyterian Church at 3228 SW Sunset Blvd (corner of Dosch and Sunset) and then heading up to Council Crest. Please park in the upper (northern) section of the parking lot to leave the lower one free for church activities.
On the way we’ll be walking on streets and a portion of the Marquam Trail to get up to Council Crest.  Be prepared for a pretty consistent uphill and then downhill trek on this walk.  We’ll also stop to visit a tree that has been in Portland before the signing of the Constitution in 1787! There are a couple of tricky spots on the Marquam Trail so bring walking sticks as needed.  Mud-worthy shoes as well as hiking sticks are recommended for those who usually need them.   Dress for the weather, which is expected to be wet and chilly.

Bring water and snacks and dress appropriately for the weather. Kids and well-behaved pets on leash are welcome, but no smoking for the health and consideration of others.
Hope to see you there.
