Name: 2025 Beginner Friendly Fridays ATC Hike #07 (makeup for previous postponed hike)

This hike was previously scheduled for Feb 14th but icy driving conditions forced us to postpone until a later date. That later date has arrived! Come join Boomer and I as we complete another ATC. This will be Boomer's 2nd ATC completion and my 15th. Ernesto will also be completing another ATC although I'm not sure how many that will make for him.

This is hike #7 in a series of 20 hikes that cover the entire 80 miles of trail in Forest Park. Because not all of the trails can be done as an independent loop it will require hiking more than 115 miles to complete the entire challenge. If you miss a hike, don't worry. We will continue to cycle through the entire set of hikes and makeup hikes are available upon request.

Today’s hike will be very challenging.

This is Portland so expect rain and mud. Lots of it. On some days we'll literally wallow in it. Wear waterproof or water-resistant hiking boots and bring your trekking poles if you have them. Wear adjustable layers. Bring a snack.

This is a beginner friendly hike so nobody will be left behind! My pace is slow but steady. For some it is too slow, but I do try to push myself as best I can. These won't be easy hikes. This is a group hike so all participants are expected to hike with the group between the designated pace setter and the sweep. If you need to rush off ahead and set a faster pace this is not the hike for you.

My hikes are cannabis friendly.

Dogs are welcome.

Please remember that I'm simply a volunteer inviting others to join in on a hike, I'm not a professional guide nor do I receive compensation for leading this hike. I must insist that everybody be responsible for their own safety and well-being.
