A long day climbing the snow-covered lightning rod of the Cascades
Hoping for good weather so we can take our time on short scenic hike though a forest area which should yield a generous display of Trillium and Calypso Orchids with slight hope for some early wildflowers in the open areas. Great views from the ridge. There are some steep sections and some potentially slippery spots so good traction footwear and trekking poles are recommended. Please come prepared for Oregon spring weather.
A full day of adventure. A long (12.5-13 mile) hike in the backcountry of Silver Falls State Park. We will do the entire length of the Perimeter Trail, come back down on the Buck Mountain Trail and reconnect to the bottom of the Perimeter Trail via the Roemer‘s Meadow Trail. A bit under 2000 feet elevation gain. This will be a 7 hour hike with lunch break and snack breaks. Bring plenty of water. Much of the hike is in forest shade. $5 daily parking fee or OR Park pass. Please contact leader by text if interested in joining.

The Chemeketans annual banquet. Socialize with your club members and enjoy good food. Author Craig Romano will be giving the after dinner presentation.
This Mother’s Day Eve climb is part of a weekend celebrating Mothers on Mount St. Helens. In the past, over 1,000 climbers ascended the mountain wearing dresses to honor their Mothers. Currently, because of the dark forces against anyone having fun or perhaps even against Mothers, the Forest Service now limits the number of permits to a measly 350. Despite the buzz killers, join 349 of your new best friends on Mount St Helens on Saturday Mother’s Day Eve and then spend Sunday with or honoring your Mother.
Join me on an urban hike through some of West Salem‘s neighborhoods. Our wandering will include Audubon Park, small neighborhood trails, sidewalks and secret paths. Well they aren‘t secret but not on main thoroughfares. Hiking includes some hill work. Meet behind Safeway on Edgewater NW at 9:00. Opportunity to gather afterwords for coffee or tea.
Hiking Length 4 miles
Elevation Gain 410 ft.
A 6.4 mile lollypop loop through a forested hillside.
Date: May 15th-17th depending on weather. Climbing on a weekday is well worth the vacation day to avoid the crowds.
Event is full, taking alternates. Still need an assistant.
