The Love A Lake program offered by the Cascade Volunteers and the National Forest involves people or organizations adopting a lake in the Willamette National Forest. The adopted lake is visited several times a year to clean around campsites and remove fire rings that are too close to the lake. This Obsidian stewardship event to the Rosary Lakes will do just that. Being a hiking club what better way to help preserve our pristine lakes. We begin by following the PCT for 3 miles at a moderate pace from hwy 58 up to Middle Rosary Lake for lunch and a view of Pulpit rock. On the way back we stop at each campsite as we go fanning out to check for trash. We can split into several groups to check Shorelines for cans and fishing gear. The pace will be relaxed with stops at campsites. The elevation gain is gradual over 3 miles. Moderate TrlMnt—National Public Lands Day—Saturday, September 23, 2023

Obsidians @ Eugene's Ridgeline:
The main concern of the Trail Crew is to lessen the impact on the environment that great numbers of people make. The Stewardship committee arranges projects with the City of Eugene Parks & Open Space Division. We do regular, monthly trips on the Ridgeline Trails and Spencer Butte, and we do litter pick up hikes along the Ridgeline Trails system.
