Willamette Stone Loop Hike

Activity Notes

Urban forest loop hike climbing up to the Willamette Stone State Heritage Site.  We will do an extended version of this hike  http://www.oregonhikers.org/field_guide/Bird_Alliance_of_Oregon_Loop_Hike 

From our NW Portland starting point at Wallace Park/Chapman School (NW 25th & Quimby), we will head up the Balch Creek Trail and return on the Upper Macleay Trail with some NW streets at the beginning and end.  Expect about 8 miles and 1400 feet of elevation gain.  Some history, some mud, and a few stairs.

Meet 9 am at Wallace Park (NW 25th & Quimby).  This park is a short walk from the NW 23rd & Marshall Streetcar stop.  Otherwise, street parking is available at Wallace Park.
