Havurah Shalom

Are you interested in exploring Oregon’s natural areas with other Havurahniks? Join the new Havurah Naturalists Group! The group’s first hike will be led by Jeff Gottfried in Silver Falls State Park on Tuesday Nov. 28. The group will leave Portland at 8:30 am from Jeff’s house, 7040 SW 84th Ave, and drive through Silverton to Silver Falls. We’ll hike down into the canyon of Silver Creek passing through caves behind at least two of the falls, observing rock layers from at least seven major volcanic eruptions of Columbia River basalt lava flows. There will be opportunities for bird watching and, if there is interest, tenkara (Traditional Japanese) fly fishing for wild native cutthroat trout. Call or text Jeff if you’re interested: 503-750-2416.
