Description:

The concept of providing a continuous trail from Eugene, Oregon to the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail began in the early 1970's. While the trail officially opened in 1994, it was never fully completed and not all segments of the trail are connected or completed. But this summer we can hike segments and see if some members can do the whole thing. The first segment leaves Eugene from Skinner's Butte Park and takes us to Island Park in Springfield. When we have lunch at Day Island we can talk about doing doing sections like Tire Mountain, the Alpine Trail, the High Divide trail to Waldo, and getting to the PCT from the Bobby Lake Trailhead.

Trip Report

What a pleasant day for a walk along the river. The Eugene to Crest project is under way. Only another 100 miles to go! Some of us were testing iffy joints today and walking with friends keeps those little aches from becoming a focus point. Being outside with friends---It's the Obsidian way.
