Description:

For 8 years we've done a conditioning hike on Wednesdays from the Martin Street Trailhead to the summit of Spencer Butte. In 2020, we expanded it to the 52nd trailhead. This route is a mile shorter with 400' less elevation gain.
If the parking lot is full, park on 52nd street on the other side of Willamette Street.
Social distancing will be maintained. Everyone is required to CARRY A FACE COVERING and know how to use it properly. More information is available on the website. Look for Covid-19 Protocols.
If you meet someone going your way, MASK UP, excuse yourself and pass. If someone is coming the other way, MASK UP and if that person doesn't get over, step aside and face away. If you are following within 8 feet of another person, you should mask up. You are in their slipstream. People can change their pace and suddenly you're too close. PLEASE DO THIS.

If you can’t see up the trail far enough to have time to put on your covering, leave it on. Make sure you can quickly put on your face covering. Don’t congregate when you meet someone on the trail or on the summit. Maintain face coverings or stay 6 feet apart.
If you don't feel well, please don't come. If you are not willing to follow the guidelines, please do not join the group.

Trip Report

The case of mistaken identity - 1 unexpected person showed up on this hike and 1 "no show"; turns out both had signed for the "wrong" Spencer Butte hike. Both leaders added/cancelled the names so that the record reflects the hike they did. Two people on this hike were challenged to reach the top, so they, the leader, and 1 other person turned around at the meadow. The remaining 2 people went to the top, one joining a participant on the other Spencer Butte hike. Whew. Good thing this is a local hike! Lots of trilliums, and a few other wildflowers - calypso orchids, fawn lilies, violets and hound's tongue.
