During the COVID shut-down SWTrails developed a series of self-led hikes for you since we couldn’t walk as a group.
Good news! We are again hiking and walking on the 2nd and 3rd Saturday of each month. I hope you can join us. You can find more details on our home page by either clicking on the “Events” tab, or on the walks listed in the “Walks” section in the right-hand column.
More good news! Our self-led hikes aren’t going away. You can still explore your neighborhood on your own. Studies show that brief outdoor walks benefit people at all phases of human life. Current research is exploring dosage and even planning principles for exposure to nature that can enhance health.
To support your efforts to get outdoors, SWTrails PDX has published routes so you can still enjoy a hike without the group. All you need is a good pair of walking shoes and smartphone. Instructions on using the interactive features on your smartphone can be found at the bottom of each hike page. All the routes are scenic and safe, so get out there and start walking!
