Come to the Klickitat River Valley, enjoy the fall colors, and join Klickitat Trail Conservancy (KTC) members for their 8th anniversary hike. We will meet at the new Lyle Trailhead (under construction now) and KTC will treat everyone to a tailgate breakfast before the hike. There will be two hiking options. The first will be a strenuous 8+ mile hike one way from the Fisher Hill Bridge to Pitt. This hike involves a car shuttle. The second is a shorter hike, four miles round trip looking at plants, also beginning at the Fisher Hill Bridge. The hikes follow the river through oak woodlands. Both hikes are flat, but the trail is rocky, so sturdy shoes are required. Bring water and a lunch.

Meeting Place: 9:30am at the Lyle Trailhead, on Hwy 14, immediately east of the Klickitat River Bridge on Lyle. To get to the trailhead entrance, turn left on Hwy 142. If you are coming from Portland, take I-84 to the Hood River Bridge exit, (3rd Hood River exit), cross the bridge, turn right on Hwy 14, and go about 13 miles to the Klickitat River Bridge.
