Description:

We will be starting at the South Trail Head parking area. Since it gets full quickly we will meet and so people can carpool if they wish. Parking requires a county park or Buford park pass. Departure location Pisgah Public Market in Pleasant Hill - 35851 Hwy 58. Take the Oakridge exit off of I-5. After 4 miles watch for the Maill on your left after the 76 gas station. Park in the middle of the parking lot by the light pole.
We will circle the mountain with a side trip to the top. This will hit trail numbers 2,4,14E,1 and 3. The number three trail is lightly traveled and by far my favorite. It meanders through oak savannas, vistas of the valley and fields full of bluming Camas flowers.
Trail will likely be muddy in spots. Bring your poles if you are a pole person - not required.

Trip Report

After meeting in Pleasant Hill we drove the five miles to the trail head. It was a sunny warm morning and we were grateful to start the hike early. It was a fast paced group and we made record time. We summited and had beautiful vistas. Only two had ever hiked trail three that left trail one on the way back down. It wound around the mountain from North to South. The Camas was in full bloom and we walked through full fields of them.
