About The Event
This is our first group hike of the summer! Join us for an easy 5.3 mile out-and-back hike near Yacolt, WA. The trail is well maintained with a small parking with bathrooms. This is also a great swimming area if you are in the mood for a dip after our survey.
We will be looking for invasive and Early Detection Rapid Response plants along the way. For the people who are new to plant identification, you will have the assistance of two former Invasive Species Technicians. You will also learn native plant identification and will have the opportunity to take in all the nature.
Please bring water, snacks, sun protection and enthusiasm for nature.
Accessibility: There are 2 designated accessible spaces in the paved parking lot off Northeast Lucia Fall Road at the east end of the trail. Both are van-accessible with striped access aisles. The trail surface is paved asphalt, gravel, or wooden bridge with railings. It is typically at least 4 feet wide.
The majority of the trail is estimated to be in the mostly gentle (5% or less) grade category and the steepest sections are at about 0.3 miles when going west. Trail goers using wheelchairs/mobility equipment or strollers may need assistance in the steeper section or to avoid it for safety. All-terrain tires or motorized equipment may be needed for the surface type and grade after about 0.3 miles. There are benches along the route for resting.
RSVP ETIQUETTE: please edit your RSVP if you are unable to come or email info@pnw-ipc.org. I will wait a few minutes to account for late arrivals. Be courteous to others.
