Program Description
Event Details
Join Jessica Becker, author of the little feet hiking book series, for a family experiential learning hike on the Pacific Crest Trail, starting from the Bonneville Trailhead. This 2.6 mile round-trip hike is geared towards kids ages 5+and their caregivers. It is suitable for hikers able to walk 2.6 miles and up and down a few hills, as well as follow safety precautions on the trail.
On this hike, we will talk about the Pacific Crest Trail, the formation of the Gorge, the Bonneville Dam, animal tracking, dendrochronology, and whatever else we find interesting. There is some shade on this hike, but it would be good to plan for some sun exposure and possibly some biting insects. Bring lunch, snacks, water, and your curiosity.
This is not a drop-off event and registration is required. Only one registration necessary per family. Library staff will have one NW Forest day pass available for each registered family.
Meet at the Bonneville Trailhead, located off of Highway 14, directly across from Bonneville Dam.
For ages 5+ with caregiver/parent.
