Description:

Note earlier start. We will do Trail Five. It was featured in the RG on Monday. I leave 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. We take Trail 5 to connect with 6 and 2 to the summit. There is a muddy section! It will be 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 or continuing with me on Trail 4 and 17. 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 started hiking on the Incense Cedar Trail connecting with Trail 5 where soon removed as many layers of clothing as awe good to enjoy the balmy weather and blue skies. On the way down we met a group of Chemeketans hiking to the summit. We signed Angela West's membership application. It turns out she was former student of mine. The trip took around 3 hours.
