What we’re about
This group is for nature lovers and photographers who like to soak in the moment, ID plants and wildflowers, pick up rocks, listen to birdsong, commune with waterfalls, meet wildlife, practice mindfulness, or just feel like taking it easy today. To that end, our hikes are short and sweet and we incorporate a lot of pauses.
We take full advantage of full moons, eclipses, meteor showers, sunrises, sunsets, meteorological phenomena, low tides, king tides, bird migrations, whale migrations, wildlife viewing, peak wildflower blooms, prime rockhounding spots, unique natural features, nature instruction, guided meditation, gardens and gardening, and weird stuff around the Portland periphery.
