Fanno Creek Trail - 8 mile round trip hike
Trails Club of Oregon
Today Ken and I did our first hike with the Trails Club of Oregon. There were seven of us who showed up on this rainy fall day to hike the Fanno Creek Trail. The Fanno Creek Trail is part of the the Tualatin Hills’ network of paved hiking/biking paths. I love the area around Greenway. The park has a disc golf course that Ken and I played often during summer evenings. On this day, we started at 9:00 in the morning from the Albertson's parking lot in Beaverton and hiked to the Tigard Library.
Meeting new people is always fun but when they share a passion for hiking, it is really fun. We met a man who teaches remedial math at a community college. He used to have a career on wall-street but has retired. There was a real-estate broker, a contractor and a health-care administrator. The great part about the hike is the ever changing hiking partners. Learning about each other and having fun conversations about current events made the hike go extremely fast.
Once at the Tigard library, we stopped for coffee and more conversation before heading back to Beaverton. All in all, it was a great hike.
I look forward to many fun activities with the Trails Club of Oregon. They have hiking, backpacking, snow shoeing, kayaking and biking activities throughout the year. They also own and maintain two lodges just outside the Portland Metro area. One in the Columbia Gorge Scenic Area and also one on the southeastern slope of Mt. Hood. I can't wait to backpack into the Mt. Hood lodge this winter.
