What we’re about
On the surface we appear to be a hiking/backpacking group. We aren’t. We are a friend group that often hikes and backpacks as a way to spend time with each other.

See all- 5/2-5/4 2025 Mountain cabin snowshoe/ski adventure weekendNeeds location
This is our last winter cabin adventure before summer. About a two hour drive from Portland, the cabin is only reachable via a 1.5 mile ski or snowshoe in so we won't be bothered by noisy neighbors. It has electricity and a cedar sauna. We have a hard limit of 10 people and the cost for each person is $80 for the two nights. A spot is not reserved unless/until you have paid the $80.
As usual we will community cook and the exact details will be worked out in the group chat.

Want a longer hike and are tired of the snow? Lets hike the Salmon river this Saturday! I've never been to the end and we probably won't get to the end this time either, but it would be nice to do 12-16 miles of it.
The trail averages about 350 feet of elevation gain per mile, so not very steep.

Usually I help with carpooling but I won't be coming from or returning to Portland that day.

- May 11 Sunday morning Mt. Tabor stairs exerciseMt Tabor North Parking Lot, Portland, OR
This Next week Sunday I will do the Mt. Tabor stairs for a couple hours. Come, do what you can, at your speed, and go. No pressure to keep up. No pressure to stay past when you are done.
Joining events like this is a great way to get on the go list for our big adventures and we need to meet you before we take you on overnight adventures like our May 16-18 backpack.
I'll meet folks at the base of the stairs.
- May 16-18 backpack - The participants pick the locationNeeds location
Sometimes we pick the location and tell you what it is, and sometimes we just pick a date and those who want to go decide where. This is one of those lets-decide-together trips.
Be prepared to:
- Leave after work on Friday
- Do 2.5k+ elevation
- Do 10-12 miles in one day
I intend to avoid walking on snow, and we may or may not leave after work on Friday, or early Saturday, depending on what we do.
