The Portland Barefoot Hikers have one hike per month, weather permitting. The hikes are typically on trails in the Portland area which are suitable for beginners, and are one to three hours in length. This is a strictly barefoot group. Participants may, if they feel more comfortable in doing so, carry some light footwear with them, but everyone is expected to begin each hike in bare feet.
The Portland Barefoot Hikers is an open, informal group,
with no dues or membership fees of any kind.
All are welcome, from beginners to experienced barefoot hikers.
This welcome is also extended to children and well-behaved dogs.
All interested people are placed on an e-mail or phone list and notified
of upcoming barefoot hikes.
Because circumstances sometimes force cancellations,
everyone intending to participate should notify the barefoot
hike leader before each hike.
