Description:

We'll meet at the end of the West Trailhead/Main parking area, nearest to the arboretum. A Lane County parking permit is required, so allow extra time to purchase the permit at the parking lot if you do not already have one on your vehicle.

To finish by mid-day and avoid high temperatures, we're starting a bit earlier than usual for this hike. We will also take a new route to hike more on the shade side of Mt Pisgah. The route will follow Trail 7 to 3, hiking around swing hill to then take trails 4, 2 and the last part of 1 to the summit. Those who wish for a shorter route can then return on 1 back to the parking area. For the long route we will return on 2, 4 and 7. The long-range forecast shows a cooler, overcast day, and we should be back to the main parking lot by mid-day. We can adjust the route if weather does not cooperate.

Trip Report

Was a great day for an early start to this hike - cool in the shade, and luckily a breeze at the sunny summit. We finished the 9.5 mile route, with elevation gain of 2370 feet in just under 4.5 hours. The route for future reference followed trails 17 - 7 - 3 - 4 - 2 -1 - 2 - 24 - 4 - 3, returning via the river trail from the north trailhead to the west trail head.
