Description:

Look for us by my car a row or two down from the fee box. Sunset is 8:59 pm and moonrise is at 8:38 pm. Because Trail Maintenance is at 5:30 and some may want to do both. I plan to take the shortest route, the main trail to the summit. Email me at jbjacobsen@comcast.net if you have questions. If you don’t have a Lane County pass allow time to purchase one with Debit/Credit card (no cash) at the pay station by trailhead. To buy an annual pass and support the trails, check out the websites for Friends of the Buford Park ($50.00) or Mt. Pisgah Arboretum. ($50.00/$40.00 for seniors).

Trip Report

We arrived at the summit to see the Strawberry Moon rise over the mountains. The sunset was gorgeous on the windy, cool evening and we women enjoyed the show!
