Description:

WORK IS DONE! BACK TO MARTIN STREET !! Be part of the first Wednesday hike to see the new footbridge!

Flexible departure time from 7:45 to 8:00 a.m.

Every Wednesday since 2013 we do this hike from the Martin Street Trailhead to the summit of Spencer Butte. Compared to starting at the paved Spencer Butte parking lot, this hike has double the climbing and three times the distance. It is a conditioning hike where everyone is challenging themselves to go at a moderate or fast pace—not like the other hikes on our schedule. If this is your first time on this Obsidian conditioning hike, or hiking to Spencer Butte, you may want to call the leader to discuss the pace. If you should fall too far behind, the leaders reserve the right to have you not summit but wait and return with the group. The regulars on this hike have attained their fitness by showing up consistently and slowly improving. If you have questions, email summertrips@obsidians.org.or contact trip leader at jjunkoamiller@gmail.com, cell: 808-282-5201. Come a few minutes early because we leave promptly at the listed time.

Trip Report

Due to increasing smoky conditions, participants completed the hike according to their comfort level. Although it was obvious that the valley air was thick with smoke, the canopy and changing winds kept the summit somewhat clear. Flexibility and knowing what’s “right” for you is always a good thing!! 12 members participated today and were able to see three new footbridges.
