Fall is upon us, trails beckon.

We treasure our outdoors here in the NW. It’s devastating when our beloved green spaces are mistreated. As the fires die down in the Eagle Creek area and Fall is upon us, you might be looking elsewhere for your autumn hikes or wanting to help with the restoration of the damage done by those careless teens. Lucky for us we are blessed with a plethora of other trails we can explore in the remaining outdoor weather days. And also lucky for us, the scorched earth will heal. I’ve included a few links to trails in or near Portland that I personally love. Please enjoy them while the weather still allows. Also below, you’ll find reputable sites that will put your donations to good use, and sites where you can donate your time helping various organizations repair and replant.

Trails I love:

I grew up camping and hiking here so it’s special to me.

• https://www.alltrails.com/parks/us/oregon/silver-falls-state-park

I’m a huge fan of waterfalls and this park has some of my faves!

Sometimes the best places are right in our back yard.

For more beautiful trails and more ways to help, click the drop down menus titled “Get Outdoors” and “Get Involved” or, you can scroll down to find my micro blogs titled “Featured Local Activity” and “Featured Volunteer & Donation Opportunities” which I will be updating frequently.

I hope to run into you on one of these trails!
