Crisp Winter AdventureWhen: Thu Jan 08, 2015 9AM-2PM |
To start this four-mile hike, we’ll drive the half mile or so to Gresham's Main City Park. We’ll park and walk the Springwater Trail to Regner Road and then head up through the Dawncrest neighborhood to connect with the Saddle Trail over Gresham Butte. Back at Main City Park, we’ll take a quick walk through the newly renovated Tsuru Japanese Garden.
Going over the Butte is relatively steep in places and can be muddy, so dress accordingly. Because of the probability of muddy conditions, hiking boots are recommended. After this loop hike, we’ll have lunch at Bistro 214 in old town Gresham.

Crisp Fall AdventureWhen: Thu Nov 06, 2014 9AM-5PM |
This four-mile hike begins at an arch bridge over Trout Creek in the Gifford Pinchot Forest, just northwest of Carson, Wash. We will head uphill on Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) #2000 through moss-draped trees to a valley viewpoint and back to the creek. Then we will travel east for 1.5 miles on PCT #2000 to the Whistle Punk trailhead to complete a 1.5-mile loop with logging camp displays. At the far point of the loop is a wooden observation deck overlooking a wetland.
Pack a lunch to eat after the hike in a covered picnic area. Hiking boots and poles are recommended, especially for the first mile. We will park one car at the Whistle Punk trailhead and all other cars at the Trout Creek bridge. A Northwest Forest Pass is required at the Whistle Punk trailhead but not at the Trout Creek bridge.
