Description:

This is a little shorter than the way from Martin, but the destination is unchanged. PLACE of DEPARTURE. 52nd and Willamette Trailhead (not the upper paved lot).

The hike is now open to 12 people, but I am more conservative about Covid than it would appear the rest of the area is.
Therefore, wear a mask or a face shield. I wear the latter, and in summer days without fogging, there is virtually no issue at all. Both will protect both you and the other person. The Obsidians need to stand for good trail etiquette and good citizenship.

Bring some gloves and a bag to pick up any litter. I saw a dropped mask the other day, and I didn't want to pick it up. We need to get back to doing that.

MASKS ARE A SIGN OF RESPECT AND ARE TO SOME EXTENT PROTECTIVE OF YOURSELF AS WELL. I would like to see Obsidians wearing them in public, especially given our age. I don't expect to be the agent of change, but I guess I keep hoping....

Please social distance as well. Increasing this from 60-69% makes a huge difference in the shape of the curve.

Finally, it will be CANADA DAY!!!

Trip Report

Fortunately uneventful hike from 52nd St. to the top and back, the change's being due to the trail work on the Ridgeline between the Tie Trail and Fox Hollow.
