Backpack Training Day Hike (4 of 4) Silver Falls State Park Back Country with river ford
About this event
I’m looking to do some backpacking trips on the Timberline Trail this summer and want to see if anyone in the club is interested in training this winter. Proposed dates: 1/11 (completed), 1/25 (completed), 2/8, 2/22. I will hike this series with a pack, but all are welcome (pack or no pack).
This fourth hike is Howard Creek Trailhead then ford creek to Rackett Ridge Trail to Perimeter Trail to Rim Trail to Bike Path to Nature Trail to Rackett Ridge Connector Trail then ford creek, return to Howard Creek Trailhead.
These are at-your-own risk events but obviously we will look out for everyone and leave no one behind. Carry 2-4 liters of water, winter layers, rain/snow gear, head lamp, map, first aid supplies, emergency shelter, lunch, snacks, directions to trailhead, sandals for fording creek (Jan. 25 and Feb. 22). I am wilderness first aid trained and carry a satellite communicator.
