Meet at the south end the Barbur Transit Center between the SW Trail #5 signs  (there is ample parking art the Transit Center).    Please arrive by 8:45am to start at 9:00am.

We will start the hike on SW Trail #5 before transitioning to Ash Creek streets and through pathways. After hiking across Woods Creek to SE Multnomah Village via the Marigold Trail, we will again be hiking on streets and through pathways, before finishing up on SW Trail #7 and arriving back at Babur Transit Center.  We will pass by the fields at Smith School and hike through 2 corners of Woods Memorial Nature Area.

This hike is up and down with steps and dirt trails, crossing both N. Ash Creek and Woods Creek (twice), as well as climbing the ridge between the Fanno and Tryon Creek’s watersheds.  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.

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.
