Description:

Look for us by my car, two or three rows down from the fee box at the gate. The full moonrise is at 9:07 pm and the sunset is at 8:45pm. We will take Trail 17, 7, and 4 to the main trail. If the weather cooperates, we can linger for the moonrise. You will need another layer of clothing and a flashlight for last part of the hike on the way down.
If you would like a longer hike, let Dave Cooper know you would like to lead it.

Trip Report

Before her first Pisgah hiike, Jennifer made a trip to Arborteum office to purchase a Lane County Parking pass. Mari and I took turns explaining the trail numbers and the sighting pedestal. It was a colorful sunset perhaps because of the smoke. We did not stay for the moonrise.
