We will hike the short, paved interpretive trail on the south side of the road, then cross the road and hike the 3.5-mile trail to the top of the cliff, and circle back to the road. There are interesting geological formations, an old homestead, and there should be an abundance of wildflowers.
Round-trip travel: 120 miles
Difficulty: Moderate
Elevation gain: 500 feet
Suggested donation per hiker: $12
The area is mostly exposed, so sunshade, long pants, hiking boots and a walking stick are recommended.
Bring water and a lunch to eat along the trail.
For more information about this hike please contact Bob Criteser at 503-807-1160 or bocr41@gmail.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.
Enjoy the freshest produce, flowers, and plant starts direct from the garden.
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.
