Join SWTrails on Saturday June 8th as Terry Kotz leads us on a vigorous hike (lots of elevation change) in the SW Hills including summiting Council Crest.  We will start from a parking lot where we have permission to use at the corner of Dosh and Patton Rd and head up the trails to Council Crest then down the Marquam trail to Broadway and over to the neighborhood above the Vista tunnel. Along the way there will be beautiful homes and spring flowers in additions to some historic sites and trees. At Prospect  Dr. we will head back up mostly on Montgomery Dr to the parking lot. Join us for this beautiful hike and remember this is our faster paced 2.5 mph average hike with usually more than 6-mile distance.

Bring a snack, water, good footwear, and dress appropriately for the weather (raingear? sunglasses? many layers?). Note that smoking on our walks is not permitted for health reasons. Kids and well-behaved pets on leash are welcome. We always try and find a restroom 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.
