Bloom Lake, Flat Iron Mountain (Clatsop State Forest), 8 miles 1200 ft ascent

Greetings -

Trying something a little different on a rainy Sunday morning.
We plan to Meetup at Bloom Lake Trailhead and hike the "Bloom Lake Loop Hike" here:

https://www.oregonhikers.org/field_guide/Bloom_Lake_Loop_Hike

The plan is to continue into the logging lands and summit Flat Iron Mountain (2241 feet elevation).

This hike is available to TCO members (free) and TCO non-members ($2 fee).

Meetup Point: Bloom Lake Trailhead (https://www.oregonhikers.org/field_guide/Bloom_Lake_Trailhead)
Distance: 8 miles (more or less)
Elevation gain: 1200 ft (more or less)
Fees: None
Dogs: Yes
Bring: rain gear, hiking poles, lunch, water, treats for my dog(!)

You must be 18 years old to join this hike. Folks under 18 must be accompanied by a guardian.

Please note I am a non-paid volunteer. Each person is expected to be prepared for a day hike in the wilderness, and each person is responsible for their own safety.
