On June 8, the Forest Grove Walking Group enjoyed a beautiful day out, visiting the impressive Hendrix Falls, as well as exploring the town site and surrounding area.

The views of Hendrix Lake and the snow-clad mountains beyond were absolutely breathtaking.

At least once a year, the group, including family and friends, embark on a major sightseeing excursion, with a packed lunch and cameras at the ready.

Other outings currently planned include visiting Lower Lake on Archie-Meadow Road and Ruth Lake Park on Eagle Creek Road.

All ages and fitness levels are welcome – be that on a weekly basis or as a drop-in. The Walking Group meets at the Forest Grove Fire Hall #1 every Monday morning at 11 a.m.
