This 3.5-mile walk begins on a bark dust trail near the Happy Valley Library. It connects to a natural trail that goes through woods near Sieben Creek and then into older neighborhoods. From there we will enter the Taralon Community to explore a network of gravel and paved paths, cross wooden bridges, and pass wetlands on this 97-acre development. Then we will head uphill to the Happy Valley Sculpture Garden at City Hall, before returning downhill to the library.
Round-trip travel: 19 miles
Difficulty: Easy
Elevation gain: Minimal
Suggested donation per hiker: $2
For lunch we will walk uphill from the library for a few blocks to Happy Valley Station, an enclosed eating area surrounded by 19 food carts. You may purchase your lunch from a food cart or bring one from home to eat in the enclosed pavilion. Good walking shoes or hiking boots are recommended, as the natural trails can be muddy.

Healthy and fresh
Farmer’s markets are a fantastic source for fresh, seasonal, locally produced foods and artisan products. Plus, you'll find great activities and fun for the whole family. Come experience the markets. Meet the vendors. Meet local cooks. Enjoy the freshest produce and products. Make your own statement in support of local food.
You'll find plenty of root vegetables, braising greens and lettuces, and of course plant starts for your own vegetable garden.
Bring your reusable shopping bags and plenty of small bills, though some of the markets will trade you a credit/debit card for wooden tokens that all vendors accept, which can be easier to handle than cash. We've indicated those markets that accept EBT or other food assistant coupons.
