Check the calendar below for our upcoming events.  A few things to note . . .

  • Outings are always on the fourth Saturday of every month.  Feel free to write them all on your calendar for the year, hint hint.

  • Departure time from the trailhead is 11:00 am sharp, so please plan your morning and travel times so you arrive at 10:45 or so.  (It often takes more time than you think to get out the door!)

  • There is (usually) no need to pre-register or RSVP for a hike.  If you want to go, just show up at the trailhead/meeting spot.

  • If you are running a bit late, come out anyway.  We start hikes slowly, so late arrivals can usually find us.  (If the trail has any forks, we usually mark our route with bright colored plastic surveyor's tape so you know which way to go.)

  • OutdoorDads is growing, and we have a range of ages and abilities on our hikes.  We tend to go more slowly than you may be used to, so if you want a "workout" hike, you might not want to go with us.  (At times we'll add a faster paced group depending on group needs.)  If your kid is grumpy or needs to head back early, no worries.  Do what you need to keep your family happy.

  • We go rain or shine (c'mon, this is the Northwest!), so please dress appropriately.  Most of our hikes are of a modest distance (2-3 miles max) and pace, so there's no need to bring too much stuff.
