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. I scouted this several times last spring but I know there have been boundary changes. I will send you an alltrails map. Be prepared for an additional 1 or 2 more miles.

We will take steep trails (more for dirt bikes) merging off of the Baldy trail to LCC/ Arlie park where we will do an upand 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.

Trip Report

Our route from Spring Blvd Trailhead on trails and roads to the historic fireplace went smoothly. However my planned shortcut back to Baldy was flummoxed by two strange parked cars. We took June’s advice to keep moving forward ending up at the LCC parking lot where Jorry and I led everyone up to 38th Street and back to Spring— it was now a loop hike. We were never lost, just exploring. Jane Kay graciously invited us to her nearby home for coffee and treats! Could it get any better?
