Lilly told me she wanted to go outside and have a hiking adventure. She also said "the more the merrier" so here it is. Late notice, I know, but sometimes that's just how it works and oftentimes they are the best adventures of all! Losing trail and bushwhacking may be part of the fun but shouldn't be too difficult.
We will park at the Columbia Gorge Outlets parking lot and carpool to our destination. I'll be parked somewhere out in the middle of the parking lot in a grey Mariner with the hatch up so that I'll be easy to spot. If you need to purchase coffee or use the bathroom in Starbucks, please come early enough to avoid delaying the start.
Social traipsing means we will be going slow and easy. This hike is more about the adventure than it is about fitness, but we'll still get a workout!
Dogs are welcome. Most of this hike is off leash.
Parking fee: none
