Meet at the West Dillard Parking lot to hike to Blanton and back to find the plaques. We will walk the Ridgeline Trail to Fox Hollow and 52nd & Willamette trailhead. I think the hardest part is the next section from Willamette 52nd Trailhead at 964 ft. to the Blanton summit at 1280 ft. Find out why Ted Matsler is honored for the Ridgeline Trail. I hope you think it is much easier on the return trip to West Dillard. (Optional: You could choose to turn back earlier.) The west parking lot (on the west side of Dillard Rd) is around .2 miles past the East Dillard Trailhead\, easy to spot on the right before Bright Star Lane.

It is an excellent workout with a long climb\, but the trail is in good shape\, and it’s close in. \nWe get on top for an early lunch\, and then we are back down and home early as well.\nThe rock itself has modest views to the south\, and it’s just a nice place to see every year.\nMight be mushrooms as well\, for those with a mycological interest.

We’ll cross Blanton Ridge before continuing on from the 52nd and Willamette trailhead. This option provides a good in town workout.. If the weather doesn’t co-operate we can forgo the exposed rocky steps near the top. \n To get to the trailhead from 29th & Willamette continue south on Willamette. At Willamette/Donald St Intersection bear right on Willamette. Immediately bear right again on to Crest Drive. Follow signs staying on Crest for approximately 1.2 miles to the Junction with Blanton Road. Turn left on Blanton. The trail head is on your left in about ½ mile. Do not turn left on Southpointe Dr. \nAnother way to get to the Blanton trailhead is to go south on Chambers until it ends at Crest Drive. Turn left on to Crest.

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. Come a few minutes early because we leave promptly at the listed time. To get to the trailhead: Take West Amazon to Martin Street. Turn left. Drive past Kinney Park and park Martin Street near the Kiosk sign board across from Canyon Drive Street sign with hiker symbol. Please contact the leader if you have any questions.

We change the route every year. This is a fairly fast paced hike (not a saunter); after all\, the goal is to burn some of the calories we ingested the previous day. We start up a huffy puffy hill on 28th\, around the Laurelwood Golf course\, on the Ribbon Trail\, and back to the Amazon Community Center. Update: we will not drop down to the Laurel Hill area (too much noise from I-5); instead\, we will visit a secret native garden. The hike is on low traffic streets and trails.

We’ll cross Blanton Ridge before continuing on from the 52nd and Willamette trailhead. This option provides a good in town workout.. If the weather doesn’t co-operate we can forgo the exposed rocky steps near the top. \n To get to the trailhead from 29th & Willamette continue south on Willamette. At Willamette/Donald St Intersection bear right on Willamette. Immediately bear right again on to Crest Drive. Follow signs staying on Crest for approximately 1.2 miles to the Junction with Blanton Road. Turn left on Blanton. The trail head is on your left in about ½ mile. Do not turn left on Southpointe Dr. \nAnother way to get to the Blanton trailhead is to go south on Chambers until it ends at Crest Drive. Turn left on to Crest. In about ½ mile turn right on Blanton Road.

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. Come a few minutes early because we leave promptly at the listed time. To get to the trailhead: Take West Amazon to Martin Street. Turn left. Drive past Kinney Park and park Martin Street near the Kiosk sign board across from Canyon Drive Street sign with hiker symbol. Please contact the leader if you have any questions.

This lovely section of the PCT gradually climbs through fir and pine forests with glimpses of Odell Lake and Diamond Peak. Lower Rosary Lake with Pulpit Rock will be our destination. If the group chooses\, we can go another half mile to Middle and Upper Rosary. There’s no pressure to do this.
