I will be arriving at 6:35AM in a white Subaru Crosstrek – wearing a blue wig. TRAIL DESCRIPTION: Meeting at the Macleay Trailhead/parking area, we’ll start on the famous Wildwood Trail until we turn onto Upper Macleay Trail. Where we’ll end up above the salmonberry bowl and see some old-growth Douglas-firs. Before you know it, we’ll arrive at the early 1900’s mansion to see the sunrise over Wy’east (Mt Hood) and city skyline. Including Tilikum Crossing, Rose Garden (Moda Center), Big Pink – US Bancorp Tower, Broadway Bridge, and the Willamette River. If the sky is completely clear we’ll be able to see: Loowit (Mt. St. Helens), Patù (Mt Adams), Tahoma (Mt Rainier), and even Seekseeksqua (Mt Jefferson). After the morning light hits, we can admire the 16,000’ mansion and take photos in our costumes! Once we’re done exploring the property and taking photos, we’ll trek back the same exact way we came.
