Backpack Training Hike -- Silver Falls State Park Back Country
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 (completed), 2/22 (completed), 3/8 and 3/15. I will hike this series with a pack, but all are welcome (pack or no pack).
This fifth hike is Howard Creek Trailhead to Howard Creek Loop to Buck Mountain Loop (south) to Lost Creek Trail to Catamount Trail to Perimeter Trail to Roemer’s Meadow Trail to Rackett Ridge Trail, ford creek, return to Howard Creek Trailhead. NOTE EARLIER LEAVING TIME. Group leaves promptly at 8:30am.
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, Feb. 22 and Mar. 8). I am wilderness first aid trained and carry a satellite communicator.
