Description:

With recent rain and snow, Upper and Lower Trestle Falls should have good water flow. This beautiful forest with old growth and maples is a pleasant destination in all seasons. Trillium, Oregon grape and bleeding heart should be in bloom. This is my favorite hike!
Please meet at LCC and continue to the Cottage Grove Walmart parking lot near the LTD stop where I will meet the group and lead you out to Lund Park Trailhead where we will trek east on Brice Creek trail. After a mile, the Trestle Falls trail climbs for about a mile to Upper Trestle. We'll continue past and return to the east end of Brice Creek trail, hike west and take a side trail to Lower Trestle Falls.
Many stops can be made to enjoy the beauty. Those who like may grab a bite and a beverage in Cottage Grove, where I can give recommendations.

Trip Report

Five happy hikers enjoyed an outing to Brice Creek and the Trestle Falls Loop. A light drizzle greeted us at Lund Park Trailhead. Hiking east along Brice Creek for a mile had glorious views of Brice Creek plus wildflowers, moss and trees. The climb to Upper Trestle is steep at times. Hearng the roaring water, then stepping around the ledge to view it was a source of joy. The falls were roaring! We continued behind the falls, around the headwall and down the trail to the east. When we were back along Brice Creek, we had lunch by the roaring stream where Trestle Creek flows into Brice Creek. A short out and back trail took us the Lower Trestle Falls, also roaring! The final stretch took us west on Brice Creek to the earlier junction, then back to our vehicles. This area is beautiful in every season.
