Archery Range to Council Crest! +Coffee

***New route!***

Join us for an out-and-back run from the Archery Range in Washington Park up to Council Crest. We’ll head **south on Wildwood**, connect to **Maple**, then link back to **Wildwood** to pick up **Marquam Trail**. After crossing the Hwy 26 overpass on Knights Blvd — where we’ll need to stay mindful of cars — we’ll follow **Marquam** and use short street connectors on **Patton** and **Talbot** before the final climb to the summit along **Council Crest Trail**. The route totals **6 miles** with a great mix of trail and views.
