Oregon Wild- Tamanawas Falls Hike

[Oregon Wild]

Great Old Broads for Wilderness and Oregon Wild are partnering up to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Wilderness Act. Join us, this Saturday June 28, for a family-oriented, educational hike on the proposed Wilderness area on the east side of Mt. Hood.

Level: Moderate
Distance: 3-5 miles round trip
Elevation Gain: 500 feet
Location: Tamanawas Falls
Leader: Shirley Stageberg

The 4-mile round trip, moderately paced hike with only a mild elevation gain follows Cold Spring Creek up the canyon to the magnificent waterfalls. Along the way we will study the map of the area, hear the history of the naming of the falls, sit beside the stream and pay attention to the unique mix of eastside-westside forest.

Parent(s) must accompany their children. This educational hike is especially suitable for grade school age children.

Meet at Whole Foods at 28th and Burnside. Parking is available in the surrounding residential area. Bring a day pack, water, and lunch. Be sure to wear hiking boots or tennis shoes and bring sunscreen. We will carpool but be prepared to drive your car.
