Description:

Update: Check the Eugene Marathon route so that you can take detours where needed such as 30th. https://www.eugenemarathon.com/road-closures-parking-and-transportation Out at Pisgah look for us my car a row or two down from the fee box. We will take Trail 17,7, 4 to the main trail up the summit. Near the summit, we will see the hard to find checkered lily in bloom. At the summit, people can head back down to the parking lot or opt for a longer hike down Trail 2 to take a short cut to Trail 4. There is a checkered lily on Trail 4 if one is lucky to find it. I heard that checkered lilies are also in bloom at Iris Ridge and Skinners Butte. Email me at jbjacobsen@comcast.net if you have questions. 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.

Trip Report

We were surprised that we actually found the two checkered lilies on Trail 4 just before the Trail 24 intersection —our muddy and slippery shortcut to the summit. On the way down we had no trouble finding the lilies in their usual not so easy to spot location. Carla used her app to identify other flowers. See her flower photographs in the gallery. What a pleasant morning!
