Description:
Wild Iris Ridge is a 255 acre park in the southwest hills, the western most segment of Eugene's Ridgeline Trail system.
We will enter the Wild Iris Ridge Loop from the less used trailhead at Summit Sky Boulevard and explore the less developed east valley of the park, a lovely 2.5 mile loop with a gradual 300 feet elevation change.
We start downhill and come back uphill but will be walking at a leisurely pace as we check out the Oregon White Oak Savanna, Madrone trees abundant in this ecosystem, Willamette Valley Ponderosa Pines and Incense Cedars. This east valley is not as steep as the climb up from Bailey Hill Road.
Parking is at the summit just west of the address
3160 Summit Sky Blvd, Eugene, OR 97405
Note -- We are NOT starting from the Bailey Hill Road nor the Bailey Hill View Drive trailheads.
There is a trailhead sign there on the south side of the street with plenty of street parking. Across the street from the sign is an estate entry gate with right to it. Call the leader with any questions or if you would like to caravan the "back way" via McLean in South Eugene.
