2024 Spring-Summer Guided Outings Schedule

IMPORTANT: As a courtesy to your fellow participants, Friends staff, and volunteers, please only register for guided outings if you are committed to attending. There is extremely high demand to join our limited outings, and we want to ensure that all have equal opportunity to experience the beauty of the Gorge with us. Continuing this season, if you cancel less than 7 days before the event twice or no-show twice to Friends guided outings that you are registered for, you will not be able to attend a guided outing for the rest of the year.

Members-only outings are in bold. Become a member today and gain access to these events (space is limited).

Be sure to revisit this webpage regularly for schedule updates, as additional events may be added over time.

Please note that only events that are currently available for registration will show up when you click the button below. Events that are already at max capacity will not be visible.
