Affinity Hiking Circle 

Let’s build community while we hike together on a classic trail close to Portland! Join EJC stakeholder Steve Carples for a hike through the leaves and fall colors on the Cape Horn trail. Steve has been a hike leader for Friends of the Columbia Gorge for three years, and has Wilderness First Aid certification. Vaccination is required to participate.

 As a group, we will enjoy each others company as we hike about 4.5 miles (round trip) with  about 1000 feet of elevation gain. At the midpoint, we will enjoy our lunches and an expansive view of the Gorge looking east from the Nancy Russell overlook. Please note that this is not a dog-friendly hike, so please make other arrangements for your furry companions.

If you are interested, email Steve at scarples@gmail.com by Wednesday, October 27th to sign up and get further details. There is a limit of 8 hikers (excluding hike leaders). We hope to schedule other hikes and/or snowshoeing events in the future. 

 Come out, meet new folks and let's all have a delightful day together in our great outdoors!
