Description:

Meet at Tugman Park, south Eugene, on Hilyard Street, between 37th and 38th.
We will saunter from Tugman Park making our way gradually uphill through the neighborhoods to 46th St and Brae Burn Drive. After several very steep uphill blocks, we will then hike up a short but steep dirt trail through the woods to the back side of the cemetery on Willamette St. We will skirt the cemetery via a dirt path. We will then have several short bursts of very steep up and down hill while we make our way through pedestrian connector pathways through more neighborhoods to get to the cemetery on Crest Dr. Then we will saunter down through the woods on a packed gravel and paved path behind the cemetery and eventually make our way back to Tugman Park through yet another neighborhood. Most of this saunter will be on pavement but keep in mind if it is wet, the steep parts may be slippery and the dirt paths will be muddy. If that is the case, hiking poles are a good idea. The restrooms at Tugman Park are now closed but there is one at Safeway on 40th.

Trip Report

This trip was renamed the Slippery Slog. Eight people enjoyed discovering new areas in this part of town and connecting different neighborhoods via hidden pathways. One pathway included going down 50 steps. Of particular note was the colorful fall foliage. This leisurely saunter allowed us to fully appreciate the scenery.
