Upcoming Trips & Tours
Pacific Crest Trail Day Hike
Happy Valley Parks and Recreation is headed back up to Mt. Hood for a day hike tackling the PCT! What better way to end your summer season than with a fresh dose of nature. The hike will be split up into 2 groups depending on how far each hiker wants to travel. Everyone will finish at the historic Timberline Lodge for refreshments, returning to City Hall to finish the day. Check out details for each hike below and select which hiking group you’d like to join.
Silver Falls Trail of Ten Falls Day Hike
Join Happy Valley Parks and Recreation’s hiking guides as they explore the beautiful Silver Falls State Park, hiking the Trail of Ten Falls. The group will meet at Happy Valley City Hall and head to Silver Falls State Park located near Silverton, around 20 miles southeast of Salem. From here, hikers will set out on the over 7 mile loop along the Trail of Ten Falls, guiding them above, behind and around ten stunning waterfalls!
Fall Foliage Kayak Trip
Estacada Lake is a dammed portion of the Clackamas River that is accessible from Milo McIver State Park. This paddle route travels along a forest-lined river that extends through a river canyon with seasonal waterfalls pouring from the sides. It’s not uncommon to spot osprey, eagles and other wildlife from the river. This paddle is great for beginners or those looking for a tranquil paddle on flat water. Although motorized boats are permitted, the paddle has plenty of opportunities for solitude and quiet moments.
White Water Rafting – Santiam River
Join our partners at Adventures Without Limits for an adventure on the Santiam River! Grab a paddle and join our expert guides as we navigate class II-III rapids. Along the way enjoy the scenic landscapes and watch for fish darting through the crystal clear waters beneath us. With the perfect combination of calm floats and excitement, this paddle is great for first time rafters and seasoned paddlers alike!
