Lori, Jeanette and I did a hike at Lacamas Park. The hike was about 5 miles and 700 ft. gain. Afterward we went to lunch at a new place called JB’s Taphouse and Grill.
This was an easy social hike with the Cascade Prime Timers along the Herman Creek. We hiked the Herman Creek Trail in the Mark O. Hatfield Wilderness to Nick Eaton Falls and back. We were on the trail for 3 hours and did 5 miles with 900 ft. elevation gain.
It was a long drive for a short hike. The attraction, four waterfalls in a 2 mile hike. I was out with Lori, Jeanette, and Marilyn for this expiratory hike. After the hike we went to Calapooia Brewing for lunch.
I got out to hike some trails in Forest Park that I had not been on in many years. Part of the exploring was to see where a couple of fire lanes came on at. By the numbers – 11 miles, 2450 ft. total elevation gain and on trail for 5 hours.
Lori, Jeanette, Marylyn and I had a short (2.2 mile) but very scenic hike in The Gorge at Tom McCall Preserve. We lucked out on the weather and managed to slip our hike in just before the rain came in. Afterwards we went went to Backwoods Brewing for lunch.
