Activity Notes

Conditioning hike. This hike is steep, has short sections of slight exposure, and has one short section of boulders. We will stop by (the aptly named) Rockpile and (the inaptly named) Great Pyramid. Please bring lots of food and at least 3L of water. Poles are recommended. We will go at a moderate pace.

The leader will be taking the Mt. Hood Express/SAM Bus from Gresham Transit Center at 7:30A.M. It is $5 for a day pass. If you choose to drive, please meet at Zigzag Ranger Station at 8:30A.M.

9 miles, 3200' gain, 4000' at summit

***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!
