Brunt Bridge Creek Greenway Trail Walk

I have wanted to explore more of Brunt Bridge Creek Trail in Vancouver, WA but up to now have not been able to find away around the homeless camps under and around the Freeway. In taking another look at the maps I found what I had hope would be a good starting point. So I set out for my exploratory walk from Leverich park that connected onto the Brunt Bridge Creek Greenway. I found the trail tent free but I could see lots of spots that had been homeless camps. I did a 6 mile out and back walk with my turn around point at Meadow Homes Park. It surprised me how interesting this urban trail was. There is still more trail for me to explore and I hope the squatter problem is over.

Sandy River Greenway Scouting

After several days of rain we had a break in the weather so I took advantage of it to do some more scouting on the Sandy River Greenway Trail. There was a new section of trail added to it that now connects Troutdale to it and on to the 40 mile loop. The new trail runs through the new Sharon Nesbit Heritage Park and then joins the Ch’ak Ch’ak Trail. There a number of user trails that connect to the Ch’ak Ch’ak Trail and run down to the Sandy River. I spent most of my time checking these out. In all I got nine miles of walking in.
