Description:

The North Bank Habitat Area is near Roseburg, exit 135, Wilbur, then on North Bank Rd to the West Entrance - around 1 hour and 15 minutes. The scenic up and down loop has rolling—some steep & challenging hills— up to and along the ridgeline with oak savannas, meadows, and views of the North Fork of the Umpqua River.
One will need to watch for poison oak in a few places. Expect a few sections of the trail to be muddy depending on rainfall in recent days. It will be a steady moderate pace with a late lunch so bring some snacks. The elevation gain is like doing Pisgah twice. If the weather forecast is not so good, I will the change the hike to Pisgah.

Trip Report

This hike was changed to Pisgah due to muddy conditions caused by recent rainfall.
The four of us met at Amazon, carpooled to Pisgah and started our circumnavigation of Mt. Pisgah from the West Trail Head.
The route consisted of trails #5,3,2,4,7 and 17. The day was very foggy and damp with no rain. We had a fun new Years Eve hike that finished up with toasting the new year with non-alcoholic bubbly at the car.
