SUMMARY:Broken Top
DESCRIPTION:Approaching one of the southern trailheads and most likely up the standard route\, across the catwalk. Be prepared for fixed line travel and rappel. \nPermits have not yet been purchased.  Please sign up by July 12 or you can’t be included in the permit.\nExact details of departure and starting trailhead will depend on which permit is available during the 2-day release (July 13).  Leader will attempt to get a permit for Green Lakes TH with Todd Lake TH as a back up (adds 1 extra mile each way). If we are completely skunked for Broken Top\, Leader will look for alternative permits or McLoughlin.  \nThis is planned as a single day with a very early start. Likely we will leave Thursday evening and sleep a few hours at the TH the night before.\nLeader will coordinate with group on Thursday 14th to identify carpooling info and permit info for those that have signed up.  Please don’t sign up unless you know you can go.   Email leader if you have any questions.

SUMMARY:Canyon Creek Meadows
DESCRIPTION:The trailhead to the hike is a bit of a drive and includes 6 miles on a rough gravel road but the reward is a beautiful loop hike through wildflower filled meadows to a spectacular viewpoint with the added plus of a herd of mountain goats often seen in the area.  Even though this is a relatively short hike with a moderate elevation gain I’ve rated it difficult as there is a challenging and steep scramble the last 1/2 mile to get to the viewpoint.  A stop at Jack Lake for a swim is an option.  This is an all day trip so don’t plan on getting home early especially if you join us at Takoda’s restaurant after the hike. \nPlease note that permits for this trailhead will not be issued until July 6th.  I’ll set the maximum participants at 12 for now and adjust it if necessary.

SUMMARY:Annual Beach Barefoot Hike
DESCRIPTION:Join me on my Annual Obsidian barefoot hike. This year we will start at Holman Vista day use area.\nWe will first cross 20” deep Sutton Creek and then hike on the beach north\, cross 10” deep Berry Creek and continue to the Darko’s Hidden Cove. After the snack break we will hike back pretty much same way. Low tide (-1.15ft) will be at 10:41AM.\n*We are designed to walk barefoot but evolved to shoe wearing creatures. Barefoot walking is candid way to feel the earth under your feet. Let’s feel the sand!  ➽ Note: There are many health benefits and some risks associated with going barefoot. Please use common sense. Carry sandals or (and) thick socks and use in case you are unable to handle sand under your feet.

SUMMARY:Blanton Ridge to Spencer Butte
DESCRIPTION:This hike to the top of Spencer Butte takes the less traveled route from Blanton Road.  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 trial head is on your left in about ½ mile. \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.

SUMMARY:Amazon Hdwtrs/Spencer Butte
DESCRIPTION:NOTE: Flexible departure time from 7:45 to 8:00.\nEvery 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. 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.

SUMMARY:North Cinder Peak
DESCRIPTION:This is listed as an exploratory hike.  I’ve hiked to South Cinder Peak several times but I’ve never been to North Cinder Peak.  We’ll park at the Cabot Lake trailhead and hike to Carl lake where we’ll hike around to the north side of the lake then continue north to get ourselves between North Cinder and Forked Butte.  If we don’t see a good route up North Cinder we’ll probably head up Forked Butte instead.  Hopefully this will be an interesting day.  A stop at Carl Lake for a swim on the way back is an option as is a stop at Takoda’s restaurant so be sure to ask your driver their plan for after the hike.

SUMMARY:No Name Lake
DESCRIPTION:The hike to No Name Lake next to Broken Top is one of Oregon’s most spectacular hikes.  It offers sweeping views from Tam McArthur Rim of the Cascades and the surrounding countryside plus our destination of No Name Lake is one of Oregon’s most beautiful high alpine lakes. \nWe’ll start this hike at the Three Creeks Lake trailhead to Tam McArthur Rim.  We’ll continue on past the rim all the way to No-Name Lake which is nestled in the crater of Broken Top Mt.  We’ll return on the same route.  I plan on stopping for dinner at Takoda’s in Sisters. \nPlease note that permits for this trailhead will not be issued until July 13th.  I’ll set the maximum number of participants at 12 for now and adjust it if necessary.  \nAlso note that because of late season snow this hike may very well be changed to a lower elevation destination.

SUMMARY:Blanton Ridge to Spencer Butte
DESCRIPTION:This hike to the top of Spencer Butte takes the less traveled route from Blanton Road.  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 trial head is on your left in about ½ mile. \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.

TRAILHEAD    Flexible start time 7:45 to 8:00 am. \nFor several years we’ve done a conditioning hike on Wednesdays from the Martin Street Trailhead to the summit of Spencer Butte.

SUMMARY:Pinnacle Peak and The Castle
DESCRIPTION:This is a new climb for the Obsidians\, so we’ll stay a little flexible. We will climb Pinnacle Peak for sure which is a 3 mile hike\, then a quick ridge scramble\, then a technical one-pitch rock climb with rope and harness. Because it is close\, we’ll also climb either Castle or Lane Mt which are also both technical climb.\nSigning up does not ensure you will be part of the trip. We may need to have a quick conversation about experience and fitness.  Meetup/Departure Location: Reflection Lake\, Rainier National Park
