About this event
Return of the post-Thanksgiving hike and potluck! As we have for the past couple of decades, we will hike the loop from North Falls, stop at the lodge to warm up and snack then head back to the cars. (If it's icy, we won't risk this trail).
We next head to the Coleman house in Silverton for hot soup and whatever shareable food you want to bring. (We have been known to drink adult beverages).
As always, anyone wanting to skip the hike and simply join the party is most welcome.
We will all be home before dark. Carpooling is encouraged.
