Description:
***DETAILS*** Steve has kindly agreed to pick me up at Pisgah at 0755 on the day of the hike. We will arrive over at Blanton about 0820, so don't expect to see us if you arrive really early. At the end of the hike, I will drive everybody back to Blanton UNLESS you want to have someone pick you up. Your call. Just let me know.***This is not quite the full Ridgeline from Wild Iris Park, but is Blanton to Spencer Butte to meet the rest of the Obsidians then depart down to the Ridgeline Trail, take it to Baldy, go to Suzanne Arlie Park, come out by LCC, walk to 30th Ave., cross I-5, stop at the Shell Station, walk Seavey Loop (well off on the left side) to the base of Mt. Pisgah, and take Pisgah up and then down, getting into the second car for the trip back to Blanton. Figure about 7 hours to do this. Mileage is about 4.5 to Spencer Butte summit, about 6.8 to LCC, about 4 to Pisgah base, and another 2.6 on Pisgah if we go straight up and down. Might be slightly less; shouldn’t be more.
A car shuttle will take you back to Blanton.
