HomeClub Member Needed as Weekend Hike Coordinator
Your job will be contacting members and asking them to lead hikes. Most hikes are on weekends but mid-week hikes are fine too; the leader gets his/her choice. You will also be reminding those who have signed up to send their write-up into the club website by the deadline every month. Also you will handle question about hikes and the schedule. I promise to help you field questions and give you a list to contact. A non-hiking member could do this job, but you need to be comfortable with e-mailing. Sign up for a year or less, we’re flexible.
Please contact Trips Chair Carolyn Jenkins at 503-422-6456 or TripsChair@trailsclub.org
There is always a Wednesday morning hike, meeting at Wallace Park in NW Portland that typically takes a half day hike in Forest Park.
During the summer months there also are Wednesday evening hikes meeting at Wallace Park in NW Portland. These hikes typically last two hours.
See our Events page to see the monthly hike schedules.
There is always a need for hike leaders. If you have a favorite hike you want to lead please contact the Trips Trustee.
Please see the Cold Weather Guideline For Trips for information about preparing for winter trips
