Indian Point

Activity Notes

Fourth in a series of conditioning hikes I'm hoping to lead.

This hike will be a lollipop loop up Nick Eaton and down Gorton Creek. Indian Point itself is exposed, but we don't have to go all the way out to the end (especially if it's windy or wet).

We will carpool from Rock Haven at 6:45A.M. or you can meet us at Herman Creek Trailhead at 7:30A.M. A Northwest Forest Pass is required at this trailhead. Suggested gas contribution will be $7/passenger. I'll be looking for at least 2 drivers.

8 miles, 3000' gain, 3000' summit

***One of my motivations for leading hikes is to provide opportunities to improve mental and physical health and build community. There's a lot of evidence that spending time outside in nature and socially engaging outside of work is good for the body and mind. Minorities tend to experience more stress, especially in today's political climate. Therefore, I invite all races, ethnicities, genders, sexualities, economic classes, religions, languages, 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!
