Angora Club Hike

Wednesday, November 2, 2011, the Angora Hiking Club will be taking a walk on 
the Hammond-Warrenton Trail along the Columbia River. This portion of the trail 
is a very gentle, level, scenic hike.

The starting place is at the Interpretive Center in Warrenton, at the corner of Main Street and Warrenton Drive at 1 PM. 

The walk will proceed West along the trail, to the Warrenton Fiber Company’s 
chipping mill, where a short , guided tour of this facility will be given.

The  hikers will then proceed West to the Point Adams Research Station which now 
houses NOAA’s Fisheries research facility. A staff member will give a short 
discussion of the Station’s current activities followed by a Q & A.

All who wish may then proceed to the South Jetty restaurant, 1050 Pacific Drive, Hammond, (503) 861-3547, for refreshments, or hike or ride back (in a shuttle) to their cars at the Interpretive center.
