3.5 miles of hiking • 500' elevation gain •
Did the scramble to the top of Broughton Bluffs up from Lewis & Clark Park that's next door to Troutdale - more challenging than you might think and nice views once there. Followed this by an exploration of the new multi-use path constructed along the Sandy and a look at the underside of the new bridge - room for countless transient camps and underage drinking parties. Too bad the multi-use path only goes from the boat ramp to the I-84 bridge, would have been nice if it extended as far as the HCRH Bridge across the Sandy. Finished with a hike along the trail that runs east from the park parallel to the rail line and I-84, nice trail - too bad it doesn't go all the way to Angels Rest. If wishes were fishes...
