Walking Portland: Laurelhurst, Kerns & Laurelhurst Park
Details
LAUNCH TIME: Please arrive by 9:30 a.m. for sign-in and intros. We'll head out at 10:00 a.m. sharp.
COURTESY & NO SHOWS: If you register for a meetup and later discover you cannot attend, you must unregister 48 HOURS or more in advance of the meetup, thus allowing another member to grab your spot. Membership in this group will be terminated WITHOUT NOTICE (with great sadness) after multiple no-shows or late drops. Thank you for considering your fellow walkers and our time and effort in organizing these events!
LATE REGISTRATION: Occasionally a member decides a day or two before a walk that they want to join in. And then when they attempt to register they discover that registration is no longer open. That's because registration closes 48 hours in advance of each walk. If this happens to YOU, message me, and I'll see if we can squeeze you in. Thanks!
ROUTE: We start and end at Crema Coffee & Bakery, at the intersection of SE Ankeny Street and SE 28th Avenue.
VIBE: Tranquil, beautiful, uplifting.
PARKING: Allow plenty of time to scout free parking on nearby neighborhood streets.
PHOTO GALLERY: See photos below.
ATTIRE: Sturdy walking/running shoes, compact umbrella, and layered clothing appropriate for the weather. Plus, anything else you need to survive 2-3 hours stomping city sidewalks and reasonably well-maintained trails (water, energy bar, chapstick, lightweight backpack, adventurous spirit, great sense of humor etc.).
