Description:

Description: Turn right at the sign for West Summit Trailhead and follow pay fee signs. Look for the yellow fee box. I'll try to have my car in the row below so that it is easy for us to meet, sign up. etc. Depending on weather, I plan to take back trails to the summit, avoiding the main trail #1. Mileage and elevation could vary but around 6 miles to 7.4 at a steady pace. Estimated time is 3 hours so bring snacks. Once we reach the summit, you have the option of going back down on the main trail for total of 6 miles or continuing on to north trailhead for a total of 7.4 miles. Email me at jbjacobsen@comcast.net if you have questions.
If you don’t have a Lane County pass allow time to purchase one at the pay station by trailhead. To buy an annual pass and support the trails, check out the websites for Friends of the Buford Park ($50.00) or Mt. Pisgah Arboretum. ($50.00/$40.00 for seniors).

Trip Report

We headed north past the Friends of Buford Park Nursery and up a short trail to intersect with Trail 3 near the cistern box on what is unofficially called Box Hill. Next stop was Swing Hill with excellent views confluence. At the intersection of 4 and the main trail, some opted to hike to the summit while others continued with me on 4, 24, and 2 to the summit. We found a second swing. The purple snow queen is beginning its parade and a very few leaves of houndstongue are peeping out.
