Description:

Meet at Spring Blvd Trailhead (4699 Spring Blvd). Google for better directions than mine: Take Spring Exit off of 30th, turn right – south. it is 1.7 miles to the trailhead. There will be a confusing jog with Firland St.

We will take steep trails (more for dirt bikes) merging off of the Baldy trail to LCC/ Arlie park where we will do an up and down loop on roads and trails back to where started—we hope. If it has rained, it could be slippery. Suzanne Arlie Park is Eugene’s largest single park at 515 acres. The expansive area includes rare prairie and oak habitats, and offers views of Spencer Butte. It is still a relatively wild and remote site, with limited access due to the fact that it is mostly surrounded by private land. Optional at end of hike to continue to the top of Baldy for a view.

Trip Report

We met at Spring Blvd Trailhead and thanks to John Jacobsen were able to provide everyone with an AllTrails map. Pat and I had scouted the Baldy/ArliePark trails three times to make sure we could make the correct turn at the many intersections to eventually find the crumbling fireplace! The blooming irises were a welcome contrast to the poison oak that we carefully avoided. We paused where there were views to identify familiar landmarks —it was confusing. Four of the group continued on up the trail to the Baldy summit while three of us took the lower trail back to our cars. It took around 2 1/2 hours.
