Sensing/Gorge Walk

Sunday November 3, 2024

11am - 12:30pm

Rooster Rock State Park

Meet at “Shelter E”

Join me for a walk in the Columbia Gorge area for the release of Sensing/Gorge zine.

This walk will be gently sloped on sandy/wooded terrain and will take approximately 1 ~ 1.5 hours.
It is a family-friendly event and we will stick to the Forest Trail, but not go further than .5 miles. We will not be visiting the clothing-optional area, and people are encouraged to bring their children. We will be attending to the ground and our surroundings mindfully.

Please keep in mind that we are going to a “designated scenic area” and thus you should bring:

• water & food

• sturdy shoes (no open toes)

• layered clothing as weather is unpredictable (rain attire suggested)

I will have a first aid kit, and am first aid/CPR certified. Please bring any medications you may need, and for allergy reasons please leave behind peanut or shellfish based snacks.

Feel free to bring any cameras, notepads, or journals that would enhance your experience.

The event is free, but the parking may have a day fee $5. If you wish to donate, please consider giving to one of the many tribes that have stewarded this land for far longer than we have.
