🦃 “Goble Gobble Day” 3-6mi Hike @ Mount Tabor - Beginner Friendly 🐢

👥This Friendsgiving Day, we’ll come together not only to share gratitude but also to reflect, connect, and give back, to ourselves, to one another, and to the earth beneath our feet. 🌎

As an event organizer, I feel that one of the ways I can give (to society) is through all my efforts to make sure there are opportunities for people to get outside, get healthy, and get connected; with nature, with community, and with their own sense of purpose.
🧠I strive to create experiences that help people grow stronger, learn, play, imagine, create, and fall in love with life again…. to remember that joy, curiosity, and compassion are acts of resilience. Together, we push boundaries, set examples, and triumph over personal goals while discovering what it means to Love ourselves and our fellow humans a little more deeply each time we gather. 💚

I would like to dedicate this event to the many Indigenous peoples whose ancestral homelands we are privileged to walk together on, including the Multnomah people (of the Chinookan family) whose villages once flourished in the Portland Basin.
Also honoured are the Clackamas people, who dwelt along the Clackamas River and near what is now Oregon City and the lower Willamette River.
Also, the Atfalati (Tualatin) people (part of the Kalapuya peoples), whose territory included what is now Washington County, parts of the Tualatin Valley including Beaverton, Forest Grove and into northwest of today’s metro area.
We also recognize the broader network of tribes who fished, gathered, travelled, traded and stewarded these rivers, meadows, forests and wetlands - among them the Kathlamet people, Cowlitz people, Wasco people, Molalla people, and many other Chinookan, Kalapuya-related, and River-Valley peoples.

May our time together honour their legacy through openness, respect, presence, and shared gratitude. Our group has been traversing their paths for many years and I am so thankful to get to experience that connection.

This event is not about rushing or mileage bragging; it’s about connection, gratitude, and presence. Expect to spend at least 3-4 hours total, moving gently, talking freely, and deepening our bonds as a community.

🧧If you’d like to give back in another way, donations to support future events and the continued growth of the Endorphin Drip Hiking Club are welcome either in person or via Venmo (@EndorphinDripHikingClub). Your contributions help make these gatherings possible for everyone. 🙇🏻‍♂️

Let’s share gratitude not as an endpoint, but as an ongoing practice. One that honours both joy and responsibility, community and reflection, laughter and learning.

I look forward to seeing you there!
