Come meet some good people every week whether you are newbie in town or long-term locals. Get some exercise and great conversations. This is a rain or shine event.
We will start at the parking strip in the middle of the park, next to a honey bucket and the Carkeek Pump Station/CSO Treatment Facility. We will then hike from the south ridge trail toward the south bluff then down the bridge to the beach (at about 6.30 pm). Enjoy the sunset and occasionally a thrilling train chase before heading up back on the trail. This time to the north bluff, down the Grand Fir trail and return to the parking spot, completing a loop of ~ 2.5 miles and about 360 ft elevation gain (see the photo for map).

We will then meet at a nearby restaurant (Saffron Grill) to socialize and enjoy some (ethnic) food (between 7.15-8.30 pm).
If you are late and can not make the hike, please send a comment to the event in advance. Please note that hosts do NOT check messages while hiking. We may reply to your messages when we are done with the loop.

***** Important: Please read the event timeline carefully if you are late and want to meet us halfway or at the restaurant. Some restaurants may not want to process multiple credit cards. Cash would be most convenient.
RSVP ETIQUETTE: please edit your RSVP if you are unable to come.
