Talking Stones Appreciation Ride

  • Monroe Park Monroe St. & W 10th Ave. Eugene, OR 97401 (map)

Join Climate Revolutions by Bike as they celebrate Indigenous Peoples’ Day, and acknowledge the environmental ethics of this area’s first people and their descendants, by visiting 15 Talking Stones found in a loop in Alton Baker Park’s Whilamut Natural Area. The stones reintroduce words of the Kalapuya language onto land where the people hunted, fished, and gathered camas bulbs for thousands of years.

The ride has two route options: A gently paced 8-mile ride, or a moderately paced 10-mile ride, diverging after the group completes the Talking Stones loop to visit the Many Nations Longhouse on the UO campus.

The ride will start at Monroe Park (Monroe St. & W. 10th Ave., Eugene).
