ASTORIA — Formed in
1920 after a climbing trip to
Saddle Mountain, the Angora
Hiking Club has been hosting
explorations of local favorite
trails and natural areas on the
North Coast for over a century,
featuring a year-round calendar
of hiking trips led by members
and local guides.
Over the years, the club has
also undertaken many ambi-
tious restoration projects,
including maintenance of the
Tillamook Head Trail and road
to Saddle Mountain, as well as
community donations like the
bronze topographic map on
display at the Astoria Column.
Upcoming club hikes
include a voyage to Puget
Island, led by club vice pres-
ident Dory Lukas on April 6;
a shoreline exploration from
Arcadia Beach to Arch Cape,
led by John Markham on April
23; a spring wild foods hike,
led by Pamela Mattson-Mc-
Donald on May 14 and a walk
along the Fort to Sea Trail, led
by Arline LaMear, on May 28.
For all trips, unless other-
wise noted, hikers will meet on
Marine Drive between 2nd and
3rd streets in Astoria. Member-
ship dues for the club are $10
per calendar year, however
membership is not required to
attend hikes. Some hikes have
limited space. For more infor-
mation and a full list of upcom-
ing trips, visit angoras.club.
