Description:
Hike the wonders of the Mt. Hood environs. Hiking in mid-September should be pleasant and bug-free. We will stay at the Trail’s Club’s Tyee Lodge, a year-round facility with a state-of-the-art kitchen, meal seating for 40, separate mens/womans dorms, and a cozy fireplace with a circle of comfy chairs.
Hikes on all three days:
Thursday: Tom, Dick and Harry (6.4 miles, 1,500 ft. gain) is directly on the way to the lodge. The trailhead is on US 26. Hike past Mirror Lake to ridge with a spectacular view of Mt. Hood on clear days.
Friday: Lookout Mtn. (10 miles, 2,980 ft.) is on the east side of Hood on Rt. 35 and offers a 360 degree panorama at top. Anyone not wanting to do this somewhat rigorous hike can do a portion of it, starting higher up, or just hang out at the lodge for the day.
Saturday (before departure for Eugene): choose between Elk Meadows (6 miles; 1,400 ft.) or Ramona Falls (7.1 miles, 1,000 ft.) .
Group size: minimum 5, maximum 15.
Total trip fees are incredibly reasonable: $41 members, $46 nonmembers. Your $10 non-refundable deposit is payable upon online sign-up, made payable to Obsidians, to be posted to:
Joe Sanders, PO Box 50081, Eugene OR 97405.
There will be a pre-trip meeting sometime during the week of Aug 15- date TBA. Please bring remaining balance to trip meeting or mail to Joe by Aug. 15, if you can’t attend.
