Trip Report

8 members and 5 non-members hiked beautiful Silver Falls; Trail of Ten Falls loop. The air temp was below freezing but the sun was shining! Icy trail conditions required micro spikes to navigate the 8.5 miles. Due to this, it was not as crowded as normal, which made the day even better. The frost and snow in the lower areas near North Falls added a bit of wintery whimsy! Folks stopped at the historic lodge afterwards to warm up before the drive back to Eugene.
