Bigger and Better for 2012!

Come and enjoy a wonderful weekend in the Badger Creek Wilderness.  See spectacular views from the eastern foothills of Mount Hood, on hikes that include natural rock gardens, wildflowers, cliff-edged viewpoints, enchanting creeks, old growth, green-pooled cascades, and oak-fringed cliffs. 
Event Itinerary
We’ll start by gathering at the Mazama Lodge on Friday night for a light meal and a relaxing evening getting to know each other. After a night in the lodge and Saturday morning breakfast, we will be transported to different trailheads to start our hiking.  Groups will hike with daypacks up to a saddle near the Flag Point Lookout, where the lodge chuckwagon will meet us with our heavy gear (tents, sleeping bags, etc.) so we can set up our camp.  We will have time to tour the fire lookout - one of only 3 manned lookouts in the Mount Hood National Forest.  At our campsite, the lodge will prepare our delicious chuckwagon style dinner as well as breakfast on Sunday morning.  After breakfast, the groups will pack up their heavy gear for transport and head out with daypacks on different routes to be picked up at trailheads for the ride back to the Mazama Lodge.  The Lodge will have some Happy Hour appetizers waiting for you before you head home.
You will be able to choose whether you want scenic and shorter hikes or strenuous and longer hikes. We will have up to 3 groups of 12 participants per group. Sign up using the form below.
