Start date: 06/23/2024

Start time: 10:00 AM
Description:
Meeting 10 AM at Banks Trailhead, Banks, Oregon (GPS 45.6221, -123.1140)
This is car-free rail-to-trail path ride along the scenic Banks-Vernonia State Trail. Plenty of scenic and historic highlights, including the Buxton Trestle.
After a leisurely lunch in restaurant in Vernonia, we’ll bike same way back. We should be back in Banks, Oregon around 3:30PM
In case of rain trip will be cancelled / rescheduled.
!! Due to trail maintenance the Banks-Vernonia State Trail will be closed between MP 4 and MP 7, so we will need to detour via a couple of surface roads. Consequently, I estimate that our total mileage will be 4 miles longer.
The Manning and Buxton trailhead parking lots and the Buxton trestle will remain open.
