NOMA PDX

Hi NOMA PDX! 🌿🥾

We’re excited to invite you to our first-ever NOMA PDX Member Hike - a chance to enjoy the spring weather, connect with fellow architects, and spend some time outdoors together.

📍 Where: Lower Macleay Park (trailhead)
📅 When: Saturday, May 23rd
⏰ Time: 11:00 AM

We’ll be hiking the Wildwood Trail up to Pittock Mansion and back down together.

🥾 Trail Details:
• Approximately 5.25 miles round trip
• Moderate trail with medium to moderate elevation gain

📸 Along the way, we’ll also be making a few stops to snap nature photos, take in the scenery, and appreciate some of Portland’s beautiful forest landscapes together.

🎒 What to Bring:
• Comfortable walking or hiking shoes
• Water
• Snacks (optional) - we will be providing snacks as well.
• Anything else you need to stay comfortable and safe

✅ Please make sure to register through our Partiful page so we can get an accurate headcount and ensure everyone is accounted for before we begin the hike.

Looking forward to seeing you all there!
