🥾**Forest Park🌲All Trails Challenge - 2024**🐇

_Please read, updates made._

**Description**📜
_This is hike #07 in a series of 13 hikes that cover the entire 80+ miles of trails in Forest Park. Because not all of the trails can be done as independent loops (and we will be doubling over our path at times) it will require hiking more than 120 miles to complete the entire challenge. If you miss a hike, no worries, we have this series twice a year and makeup hikes can be arranged._

_What can I say? By now you probably have a deep seeded abhorrence to this starting point. If you don’t, perhaps this hike will push you over the edge. Hehe a cool ten miles with a four layered cake style incline of which we will not summit until we’ve reached the top of NW Saltzman Rd over by Skyline. Once there we will break and head back down to the start._

**Difficulty**💪🏽
This is NOT a beginner friendly hike, as we will be keeping a decent pace of an average of 2.7mph (or greater!) throughout, could be slightly faster/slower depending on groups’ abilities. I try to go as fast as the slowest person will allow me. These are not good hikes to learn what your pace is.
This can be difficult for some that have sedentary lifestyles, so please don’t be discouraged if at first you don’t succeed, just try try try again.

**Carpooling/Driving**🚗🚙
Since this is in town, I will not be carpooling myself, but if you wish to do so please organize that on your own in the Event Chat/Comments section.
For those who want to carpool, just know that you should be prepared to drive or take public transit.

**Parking/Fees**🅿️
There are no fees at this location, though space is limited. The address given is for location purposes only. Trailhead is at the end of Lower Saltzman Rd. (Off on NW Saint Helens rd/Hwy 30).
Some choose to park at the bottom of Saltzman Rd and Hwy 30 next to Anderson Roofing and walk the .7 mile up to the trailhead. If you do, please arrive early enough to account for the walk (10/15min).
