Description:

We will catch Bus #28 at 8:39am to Martin Street to start our hike at 8:51 at Amazon Headwaters Trailhead. We will take the Ridgeline to Fox Hollow, Dillard, Spring Trailhead and then walk on city streets to 30th and the Ribbon Trail to Hendricks Park. Once at Hendricks Park, we will take city streets to Hey Neighborhood Pizza House at 1629 E . 19th Street for their lunch special (optional). Then it is back to our cars at 19th and Patterson. Mileage is an estimate and I suspect the elevation is higher since we have ups and downs. Pace is moderate. I can shorten the hike a few miles if the weather forecast is dismal. I have a few extra bus passes if you need one. Email me at jbjacobsen@comcast.net

Trip Report

We met at 19th and Patterson to take Bus #28 at 8:39 to Amazon Headwaters Trailhead to start our loop hike to Fox Hollow, Dillard, and Spring Trailheads. From there we walked on city streets to 30th and picked up the Ribbon Trail to Hendricks Park. It was fun for our guest to see the Obsidian Lodge. By noon we were at the Hey Neighborhood Pizza House on 19th Street where we enjoyed the enclosed outdoor seating and incredible pizza. It was a short walk back to our cars. All of us gave the hike rave reviews for the weather, the route, and the pizza.
