Swallalahoost (Saddle Mountain)

Activity Notes

Fun hike in the coast range, possibly with wildflowers and views of the ocean! There are a couple of steep parts. Poles recommended. Please bring at least 2L of water. We'll go at a slow-moderate pace. We will meet at the Sunset Transit Center (accessible by TriMet Bus 20, 48, 59, 62 and MAX Blue and Red lines) at 7:00A.M. for carpooling. Recommended gas contribution is $13/passenger. If you choose to drive to the trailhead, please be there by 8:20A.M. The plan is to have a "slow" and "fast" group, which will leave from the trailhead 5-10 minutes apart so that we don't crowd the trail. 5.5 miles, 1900' gain, 3200' at summit Please email me with any questions! ***Minorities tend to experience higher amounts of stress. There's also lots of evidence that spending time outside in nature and socially engaging outside of work can reduce stress levels. Therefore, I highly encourage and welcome race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, economic, religious, and all other minorities to join me on my hikes! ***This hike will take place on historically Chinook lands. If you would like to help this tribe be federally recognized, they have an active petition!
