Description:

This is the 12th Annual Turkey Trimming hike; get some exercise with friends before ingesting a lot of calories! This year's route: from Martin St., stay on West Amazon to Owl St, to the Ridgeline Trail. Continue the loop by returning through the neighborhoods. There are some short, but steep huffy-puffy hills.

Trip Report

During introductions, everyone shared what they were grateful for, particularly on Thanksgiving Day; family, Obsidian friends, and living in Eugene/Springfield were mentioned a lot. This was a fast, congenial group of hikers. Huffy, puffy hills barely slowed them down! We finished the route in just over 2 hours. Camaraderie and exercise is the best therapy.
