Come join us on this moderate urban ascent to Pittock Mansion in NW Portland. This walk gains over 800 feet as we climb stairs, streets, and trails to this restored chateau overlooking Portland. Round trip is about 5-6 miles, and we can reward our efforts with an optional nosh at Kettleman bagels afterwards.

WHEN: 10:00 am on Sunday, January 25, 2009

WHERE: Meet at Kettleman Bagels, 2314 NW Lovejoy St. Street parking is free.

DISTANCE: 5-6 miles round trip, with 800+ foot elevation gain.

WHAT TO BRING: water, layers, rain gear, snacks.

The route we follow will be weather dependent, with more streets than trail if it's rainy & muddy that day.
