Description:

Look for us by my car a row or two down from the fee box. Sunset 7:21 and moonrise is 6:54. Current plan is take Trails 7,3, and 1 to the top in hope to see the moonrise around 7:00. Faster hikers might want to include a section of Trail 4. 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.

The full moon is the next day. If weather doesn’t cooperate with viewing a celestial event, we won’t wait….

Trip Report

It was a great way to celebrate St. Patricks Day but we did not see any leprechauns, the sun or the moon.
