Welcome to Portland Hikers

Welcome to Portlandhikers.org. We are a community of hikers and outdoor lovers coming together to share experiences and encourage each others' first step to their next adventure. Our site is main two things: a hiking forum and a trail resource. Click on Forums to see tons of great trip reports and to participate in discussions. Click on Field Guide to see our growing, community-built trail resource. Our goal is to expand horizons, share experiences, and help hikers meet hikers. We welcome all experience levels.

Oh, by the way, we aren't a "hiking club", but we can sure help you get connected to them! See the bottom left of this page to find links to area outdoor groups.
Enjoy your stay then turn off your computer and get back outdoors!

Give one day of trail work for every 100 miles you hike!

TrailKeepers of Oregon and PortlandHikers.org are working together to motivate hikers to give back to the trails they love. Every hiker can and should do trail work. We are asking each hiker to perform one day of trail work for each 100 miles they hike. Especially in the Pacific Northwest - where our rain forests and winter storms make it a constant battle - Agencies and organizations are struggling to keep up with demand. Many trails have already been lost due to lack of simple annual maintenance.

Please Help!

For more information on how to get involved, please contact Trailkeepers of Oregon at joseph.ammons@trailkeepersoforegon.org


There are work parties going out around Oregon nearly every weekend - even during the colder months.
