Join us for a rejuvenating nature walk specifically designed for Autistic adults ages 18 and older! We will explore the scenic Leif Erickson Drive Trailhead in Forest Park, surrounded by the beauty of nature.
Please note that the Leif Erikson Drive trailhead is not accessible via public transit, so we have arranged for Portland Parks and Rec to Provide a shuttle bus for all participants. We will meet at the ASO office, 9320 SW Barbur Blvd parking lot. Please arrive no later than 12:10. The shuttle will leave promptly at 12:30 pm.
Come share the tranquility of nature, connect with others, and enjoy a refreshing afternoon outdoors. We look forward to seeing you there!
