Planning of the 40-Mile Loop started in the early 1900s and later grew into 140 miles. Obviously, many changes over the century connected the Springwater Trail and over 30 city parks. We will walk 5.5 miles or more of this original 40-Mile Loop Trail in Troutdale, where we will view the newly completed I-84 bridge. Most of the hike is on level surface along the Sandy River, with views of the river.
Lunch will be at some restaurant in Troutdale, to be determined later. Participants are advised to have water, snacks for the trail, and proper clothing for the weather of the day. Sturdy hiking shoes and hiking poles are recommended for this easy hike.
For more information about this hike please contact Kuldip Dhadwal at 805-509-0697 or kuldipdhadwal@hotmail.com.
Senior Healthy Hikers asks that participants be 50 or older. A couple wishing to hike is welcome if one member of the couple is 50 or better.
