NOTE: Flexible departure time from 7:45 to 8:00.
We do this hike from the Martin Street Trailhead to the summit of Spencer Butte every Wednesday. Compared to starting at the paved Spencer Butte parking lot, this hike has double the climbing and three times the distance.
Meet at the Campbell Center parking area, to the west of the building by 5:50 pm for a 6pm departure.
Our route will keep us near the river, going into Alton Baker park by way of crossing the DeFazio bridge, then hug the river until we loop around the Duck Pond, then crossing the river again via the Frohnmayer bridge, and back to the parking lot.
