Thank you Buttons. I'm thinking of joining a hiking group, should be a lot of fun.

There are a couple hiking clubs in the area. My friend belongs to one. I can find out for you if you wish.

The Silver Falls Trail is awesome, it has about 10 water falls on it

i dunno if i took the wrong trail but that 2.8 mile trail or what ever the short one was i think was 4 miles well my knees were injured too when i did that hike so that may have made a difference.....

that is awesome!!!!!! wish my knees werent bad.... awwww wish i could...

I love hiking Silver Creek Falls and Buttons I would love it if you would post some hiking groups I could join I know of a couple, I just have to get my clinicals over with then I'll be free to join. I know of the Chemetekans, they're a group that does all kinds of stuff, hiking, biking, kayaking...Any input would be appreciated and Thanks............

ever heard of "columbia river orienteering club"? wow that is fun i did it when i did girl scouts with my daughters.... its like a hiking race and you have to have a compus and find the flags they have hidden in the woods.. look it up online... they have short distance and longer distance less experienced and more experienced....you dont have to be a club member to participate and try it out.... only like a few dollars too! i think when i went it was 2 bucks lol but that was like 8 yrs ago.. its like hiking with a twist.. really fun! they give you a map and a compus and you go in the woods to find the "flags" and punch your card each flag has a different punch then u get to the finish line and give you your time some people jog it some hike it...different maps for different experiences i believe there were 3.. beginner.. advanced and expert... kinda like finding a treasure lol id like to do that again but beginner lol... im definately not a jogger but u maybe... check it out

Gosh that does sound like a lot of fun, never heard of that group. My knee sometimes bothers me also, used to jog (35 miles + a week) but gave that up a long time ago, hiking is about it for me that and bike-riding. Used to belong to a hiking group in Boulder, CO. Was so much fun, hiking with a group. Thanks for the info.
