Description:

The Obsidians are offering hikes to 2 different sites to observe the annular eclipse. This hike is much more difficult than the other one due to the elevation gain. We'll take trails 3 & 4 to 1 and then to the summit.

To view the eclipse, you MUST wear special glasses to protect your eyes.

Directions to the north parking lot - after you cross the bridge and enter the park, immediately turn LEFT and drive about 1/4 mile to the parking lot. A Lane County parking pass is required and can be purchased at the main trailhead.

Trip Report

We lucked out! As we started out from the north trailhead, low clouds obscured the peak. But by the time we reached the top, joining at least 50 other hopefuls, the clouds were starting to break up. Slivers of the eclipse could be seen. It got noticeably colder quickly and then it briefly cleared enough for us to see the full ring. It was very satisfying to view this special event, especially with friends! Where will you be on 4/8/24?
