CHS 1 Hike - Cedar Butte (Olallie State Park)

This will be a relaxed hike to kick-off CHS 2025!  Nice hike through the forest with a viewpoint at the end if we're lucky with weather, and some history (check out the WTA page).  We'll stop  for lunch or a snack in North Bend - awesome location TBD.

Please review the hike on the WTA website if you would like more information:  https://www.wta.org/go-hiking/hikes/cedar-butte
