Trip Report

With blue skies in the distance our optimistic group set off to venture through Alton Baker City Park on the"Pre Trail." Despite some wind and rain we enjoyed waking on the soft bark chip surface through woods, meadow, and along the canoe canal. Alton Baker Park is a gem in the middle of Eugene, running, walking, biking, disc golf, dog park, Cuthbert Amphitheater, native plants, rock garden, Nobel Peace Prize winners, start of the solar system scaled model and more!
