🌅 Evening Hike Series #2 – Marquam Trail Adventure

This is the **second rotation** of our weekly hikes! 🥾 We’ll be rotating through different trails in the Portland area over the next few weeks (not sure yet if it’ll be 4, 5, or more, but you’ll have plenty of chances to join). Each hike will bring its own vibe, scenery, and challenge, so stay tuned for the full lineup!

For this week’s stop, we’re heading to **Marquam Trail**, a mossy forest escape right on the edge of Portland, with steady inclines, narrow paths, and peaceful woodland vibes that reward you with great views at the end. 🌲
