Mt. Tabor, SE Portland, OR

• A mixture of footpaths and paved roads crisscross Mount Tabor. We will enjoy this community hike amidst many other beautiful active Portland residents running, cycling, jump-roping, lunging, lounging, practicing yoga, playing guitar, picnicking and......
• We will MeetUp @ the entrance to Mt. Tabor Community Garden on Lincoln St. @ 10am where there is ample street parking.
• We will meander the various trails as we make our way to Tabor's summit for some spectacular views across SE Portland with the city skyline and West Hills in the distance.
• Our loop hike will be easy to moderate elevation and approximately 3 miles, no matter what trail we chose.
• Up top, amidst the cover of some fabulous huge trees, we will dance our Nia before chatting and hiking back down to our meeting spot on Lincoln St.
• Nia Somatic movement is gentle, fun, inclusive, healing, move-at-YOUR-own-pace & in YOUR body's way. It is about what it FEELS like, not so much what it looks like, y'all.
• We use headphones (provided), handsfree mic, radio transmitter & iPod technology!
• Consider having a breakfast with protein and packing a snack perhaps and please bring your water bottle.
• If your intention to attend changes, pretty please change your RSVP status on MeetUp to "Not Going" as soon as your plans change. I have limited sets of headphones and would love to avoid "no-shows" from excluding others who wish to join. THX.
• Please avoid asking others on a date during this event. My intention is to foster safe space to meet new people, hike, dance and FEEL the music. Please respect your fellow attendees. I remove members who aim to "pick-up". Please let me know if you are ever made uncomfortable by another during an event.

We would LOVE to have you join us …

🔥 this is a community event and there is no charge. FREE! 🎈

Lacamas Creek Trail to Lower Falls and Pothole Falls

• The start of our hike will take us along Lacamas Creek lined with maples and alders. Douglas-firs predominate as we hike farther up Lacamas Creek.
• Soon we will hear Lower Falls, a splashing slide falls with less exposed rock during rain season. We will share beautiful waterfall views, well-maintained trails, and scenic landscapes.
• We will stop to admire Pothole Falls before rounding our way back to Lower Falls where we will dance our Nia Somatic movement in an opening by the bridge.
• Our lollipop loop hike is about 3.2 miles total, and is considered moderate, while much of it is easy, there will be some hills and gravel paths, with a mere 244 feet of up-hill elevation.
• There are fabulous new bathrooms @ the parking area.
• Nia Somatic movement is gentle, fun, inclusive, healing, move-at-YOUR-own-pace & in YOUR body's way. It is about what it FEELS like, not so much what it looks like, y'all.
• We use headphones (provided), handsfree mic, radio transmitter & iPod technology!
• Please wear clothing you like to move in and hooded rain gear (when needed) to protect our headphones.
• Be sure to have a healthy breakfast that includes protein & pack a snack perhaps.
• Bring your water bottle.
• If your intention to attend changes, pretty please change your RSVP status on MeetUp to "Not Going" as soon as your plans change. I have limited sets of headphones and would love to avoid "no-shows" from excluding others who wish to join. THX.
