Description:

Meeting place: 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. Sunset is at 6:00 PM and Moonrise is at 5:55 PM. I’ve given us 50 minutes to hike up Trail 7 and 4 to the summit. Bring headlamps. Guests welcome! If you don’t have a Lane County Parks Pass, you will need a credit or debit card for the fee box. If you don’t have an annual pass, consider purchasing one online from Friends of Buford Park. Allow 2 weeks. Or from the Mt. Pisgah Arboretum. if you have any questions, email me at jbjacobsen@comcast.net

Trip Report

It didn't matter that the moon and the sun hid behind the clouds, our evening hike was fun.
