The Mazamas’ only Eastside ramble begins at the Mazama Mountaineering Center 43rd/Stark. Walk at a brisk pace (2.5-3.0 mi/hr) through the streets, admiring the gardens of SE Portland up to Mt. Tabor Park. We may even catch a glimpse of a heritage tree. Once in the park we will take alternating trails to the top of the park up to the top of the #280 stairs at the NE corner of the park.
From there we will have 30 minutes to walk up and down the stairs then finish with a moderate stroll back to the MMC. Great training for climbing or backpacking this summer (load up your packs as you wish ?). Total mileage 6 miles (not including stairs climbed up/down). Elevation gain approx. 600 ft.
