Description:

Look for us by my car a row or two down from the fee box. Depending on weather, I plan to take back trails, #4 and #2 to the summit, avoiding the main trail #1. Mileage and elevation could vary but around 6 miles at a steady moderate pace. Estimated time is 3 hours so bring snacks.

if you have questions, email me at jbjacobsen@comcast.net.
If you don’t have a Lane County pass allow time to purchase one with Debit/Credit card (no cash) 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

The steady rain made it easy choice for five hikers to shorten the hike and head for the summit while three of us took the longer route around on backside. Mud and torrents of water on the trail plus snow near the top made for a very cold and wet trip. Lucky were the two hikers who had an extra pair of dry mittens.
