Description:

**UPDATE - ALL RECREATION IN THE WILLAMETTE NATIONAL FOREST IS CURRENTLY CLOSED. STAY TUNED FOR UPDATES.**
This is an old-growth forest hike. There are no lakes, raging rivers, waterfalls, or mountain vistas. But it is shady, fairly flat, quiet and peaceful, with many huge Douglas-firs (6'-7' diameter) and Western Red Cedar trees.We'll begin our hike at Constitution Grove along Aufderheide Highway and take North Fork Trail #3666 (Segment 5) eastward about 2.8 miles where it joins Shale Ridge Trail #3567. This heads south, and in about 2.6 miles we'll reach a grove of giant cedar trees, which is our turnaround point. Shale Ridge trail has some very shallow stream crossings which are easily navigated by hopping along fallen trees and large rocks. Hiking poles are very helpful for balance.Note to drivers: there's no driving on gravel roads!
Please read the Covid-19 protocols on the Obsidian website prior to the hike. Participants will manage their own transportation. Obsidian protocols for social distancing will be observed on the hike.
