We will ride MAX into Portland and begin the walk down the newly refurbished Vera Katz Eastbank Esplanade. With any luck, the trees will be in bloom for this early spring outing. We will walk along the Willamette and cross the river on the Hawthorne Bridge and then walk along Governor Tom McCalls Waterfront Park.
