Advance Hikers' Hike: Entire Wildwood Trail

This hike will be more than an advanced hiker's hike… it's going to be 30 miles of muddy, rainy, cold, dark conditions and should probably be considers an advanced sociopath's hike. Nevertheless, let's get in some type-2 fun and hike the longest trail in Forest Park on the shortest weekend of daylight of the year!

Total miles: 30.2 miles
Elevation gain: 3,113.
Difficulty level: 10/10.

**HEADS UP: I’m still recovering from a stress fracture in my foot that happened this summer, it is** ***very*** **likely that I will only be doing the first 20 miles of the Wildwood this year, and the rest will be self led. I’ll have a better idea of what this hike will look like after the first week of December.**

Please note that this trail is not an out and back and will require carpooling to the trailhead. We will be meeting at the Oregon Zoo trailhead and will be carpooling to the trailhead near Newberry Road.

This hike will be occurring in December, which means the weather (and subsequentially, the trails) may not be in good condition. Please prepare for this hike by bringing *plenty* of food, water, and clothing.

This group will move at a steady pace and take occasional breaks. However, due to length of this trail, if you begin to start trailing behind the group consistently, you will be asked to either turn around or continue at your own pace.

*My goal is to ensure that all attendees have a safe and enjoyable experience, but please be aware that I am a volunteer host and not a professional guide. By attending this hike, you acknowledge that you are accepting sole responsibility for your own safety and well-being. Please come prepared, know your own limits, and hike at your own risk.*
