Holiday Sights & SoundsWhen: Wed Dec 16, 2015 3PM-10PM |
On this three-mile walk, we’ll check out Christmas trees at Pioneer Place, Pioneer Square, and the Heathman Hotel and all the holiday lights on Broadway. Then we will head down to the Riverplace Hotel and follow paths to “The Groaning Board,” a South Waterfront Pub, for your choice of Happy Hour or dinner. After dinner we will walk a short distance to the river where we can sit on park benches or stroll the waterfront to watch the Christmas Ship Parade (scheduled to leave the Riverplace Marina at 7:00 PM, weather permitting). After the parade, we will catch the B Trolley to the 7th and Holladay MAX station near the Lloyd Center and then board the Blue Line back to Gresham. Bring a flashlight, camera, water, and snacks. Wear bright clothing and comfortable walking shoes. Please purchase your “All Day” MAX ticket in advance of getting to the City Hall platform so that we can validate tickets and leave on time. Your “All Day” MAX ticket is also valid on the Portland trolley lines.

Enjoy the SolitudeWhen: Thu Nov 05, 2015 9AM-5PM |
The Tualatin Hills Nature Park is a 222-acre wildlife preserve in the heart of Beaverton. We will travel by MAX to start this 4.3-mile hike. After we arrive at the Merlo/158th Street Transit Center, we will walk .75 mile on a paved trail to the interpretive center to view the exhibits on the natural history of the area. Park restrooms are also located at the interpretive center. Please note that this will be the first opportunity to use restrooms after we leave Gresham City Hall. After we leave the interpretive center, we will follow a series of trails within the park, viewing a variety of evergreen and deciduous trees, wetlands, creeks, ponds, and meadows throughout the park, winding our way back to the MAX transit stop. After the hike, we will travel by MAX to the Beaverton Transit Center and then walk through a parking lot to have lunch at the Red Robin Restaurant. Bring an energy snack and water. Good walking shoes or hiking boots are recommended
