Description:
A long, but flat hike through an area rich with Oregon history. We'll do the eight mile Heritage loop at Champoeg State Park. The first provisional government of Oregon was formed in here in 1843 and it was the site of a small, but once-thriving town that was washed away during the great flood of 1861. What remains is a beautiful park along the Willamette River that's listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Part of the time we'll be on a flat bike trail that will take us past Oregon's oldest continuing operating store in Butteville.
Optional side trip after the hike to Aurora, 8 miles away. Aurora was a founded as a religious colony in the mid-1800's. It thrived - then collapsed 20 years later. Aurora's now a charming town that's home to the Aurora Colony Museum, bakeries, and antique stores.
