Description:

This short hike is to a large unique meadow close to Eugene to see wildflowers and views of the Cascasde peaks. and the Willmanette valley. The 1/2 mile trail to the meadow area is an old road. The trails in the meadow area are user created and not maintained. They are easy to navigate except for a few short sections that are steep and require some scrambling. Bring trekking poles if you have/need them. The hike in will take about an hour, we will spend an hour exploring the area, and eating lunch, then hike out. People will have the option of stopping at Shogtun Creek Recreation Site and hiking up to 6 additional trail miles in a forest n the afternoon. There is a $3/vehicle fee (or a Golden Age Pass) for parking at the Recreation Site. All roads we will be travelling are paved, however the trailhead and trail are not signed.

Trip Report

Weather was perfect - warm, no rain, high clouds. Only a few other hikers. The old road to the meadows was lined with calypso orchid. The meadows were full of yellow monkeyflower and patches of larkspur, shooting stars, paintbrush, fawn lilies, blue-eyed Mary and death camas. The trail was dry, however due to the uneven tread, we were glad we had hiking poles.
