Come join us for a lovely fall hike on the Salmon River Trail. This hike is located about 1 hr from Portland. This is a 7 mile trail with 950 feet of elevation in the Mt Hood Natl Forest near Zig Zag, OR. We will hike along Salmon River in an old growth forest with lots of moss covered logs—very peaceful and soul-soothing. We will have time for a lunch/ snack break at the mid point with a view of the canyon below. As we enter fall, be sure to wear layers and bring a rain coat just in case. We recommend bringing hiking poles if you have them.
We will meet at the Gateway Transit center at 8:30 am and carpool from there. This is a good spot for those who use public transit and has a large parking garage for those who will leave their car to carpool with others.
Please be sure to bring water, snacks and lunch. The duration of this hike, including driving time, will be 8:30 am - 2:00 pm.
