Description:
Weather predicted to be partly cloudy but warm--up to 80 degrees. We will enjoy a pleasant cool breezes and warm spells as we hike along the McKenzie River to the hot springs and gardens. Leave your car outside the downtown blocks--walk to LTD bus and skip the crowds! Round trip hike from McKenzie River Ranger Station to Belknap Hot Springs is 6 miles. Additional 1-2 miles optional hiking on resort trails adjacent to the river.
LTD Public Bus # 91 requires exact change $3.50 for a day pass, We will meet at LTD Downtown Station at 8 am, depart Eugene Station at 8:20 am. Arrive Ranger Station 9:40 am. I expect to hike leisurely along the river's edge, and steadily 2-2.5 mph under forest canopy, stopping at Paradise boat ramp (pit toilet) and Lost Creek bridge arriving at Belknap at Noon. I would like to stay grouped together on the National Recreational Trail. Expect some bicyclists and rafters enjoying the same corridor. You will have choices for activities midday We will start back from Belknap Bridge at 2 pm promptly. You may have time at the Ranger Station before catching the early 4 pm LTD bus back to Eugene, We will arrive downtown at approximately 5:30 pm. Come along and relax.
