  • End time: 11:59 PM

Description:

Attention all hikers! The Ridgeline may be closed but Mt. Pisgah is not! We will do a nice conditioning hike from the east Pisgah trailhead bypassing the muddy lower portion of trail 4, briefly following trail 46 under the power lines and joining the newly reconfigured and resurfaced trail 4 to the summit. The trail is clear of major debris and this should be a nice opportunity to revive those leg muscles atrophied from disuse due to the ice and snow. There are no major stream crossings.
We will carpool from the Amazon parking area at 28th and Hilyard. Tell your friends.

Trip Report

We carpooled from the Hilyard & 28th Amazon parking area to the east Mt. Pisgah trailhead. The weather predictions had been for heavy rain. After weeks of subfreezing temperatures, ice and snow the temperature was a balmy 56 degrees. 9 participants hiked trails 2,46, 4 and 1 to the summit, returning via trail 2. Two participants took a shortcut to the summit on trail 24 but rejoined the group at the top. There was no rain and the trip was uneventful. Everyone appreciated the warm and dry day.
