Pictures Bill W. took of a fun weekend in Shady Cove, site of the Rogue Valley Biennial Walk! Photo Credits: Bill W. ![]() Blue Heron, Tanner Springs Park, by Leslie W. Thanks to all walkers that came out expecting a projected rainy weather but in fact walked under clear blue and sunny skies, though a bit windy! There were lots of Public Arts (11) and Parks (8), both big and small, some old and weathered and others yet to be opened. AVA Walk challenges included Bakeries (5), Diners (2), Murals (8), and WPA (2) (Works Projects Administration). WalkOregon challenges included antique shops, banks, bicycle shops, bed & breakfasts, firehouses, landmarks, and water towers. Today's walk event touched Forest Park, meandered through Legacy's Stenzel Healing Garden and along the Willamette River. And in between were many opportunities to shop, eat, drink, and shop some more in NW Portland and the Pearl District. And Leslie W captured a rare photo of a very shy Great Blue Heron, Portland's official bird since 1986, wading in Tanner Springs Park. More at Audubon Society of Portland. More here. ![]()
On March 9th, CRVC club members walked the Aspen Creek Trail winding through Washington Park. This was a long-time every day walk but was recently discontinued. If there is interest in having this as a seasonal (April 1st - September 30th) walk, leave a comment! Photos by Ed H. Club members trekked up to Pittock Mansion on Saturday, February 16, 2013. More on PortlandHikers and Portland Parks & Recreation. Photos by Ed H. ![]() Walk with us through residential neighborhoods and commercial districts to find Parks and Public Art! Brochure here.

![]() Read about the nearly 1100 pound Bald Eagle's Nest, owned by the Federal Government and on loan to the Jackson Bottom Wetlands. The walk was held on a cold, breezy, rainy and overcast day. See more at the Sherwoodmerrywalkers blog of 6/18 and their photos. ![]() The AVA Trail Rating System has been revised and a new one developed. This is a two-part rating system. It now takes into consideration Incline and Terrain and these features should give participants a better idea of what to expect on a route. The new system kicks into gear for all events beginning on January 1, 2012 next year. ![]()
