Description:

CHANGE OF LOCATION. DUE TO TRAIL IMPROVEMENT WORK THIS WEDNESDAY HIKE WILL START FROM 52ND ST. TRAILHEAD Flexible start time 7:45 to 8:00 am.
For several years we've done a conditioning hike on Wednesdays from the Martin Street Trailhead to the summit of Spencer Butte. In 2020 we used this route while work was being done on the trail near Fox Hollow. And we are doing it again as work is being done on the segment from Martin Street. 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. Please contact the leader if you have any questions.
When hike is completed but you still want another 350 ft. elevation gain, hike up to the Blanton summit.

Trip Report

Our cars filled up the trailhead parking lot so a few had to park on 52nd Street. Everyone made it to the summit where conversations kept us lingering. We welcomed Heidi, our new member. Fortunately by the time I reached the parking lot, the Eugene Parks rec bus loaded with children had a place to park their vehicle. A fun hike with some going to Hideaway where there were just a few places to park.
