Description:

Park in the main parking lot and meet at the gate for trail#1. You must pay for a day pass at the parking kiosk (debit/credit cards only) or have an annual Lane County parks pass on display in your vehicle. We'll hike up to the summit and back on trail #1. I'm planning to do two laps with a weighted pack (recommend 20-40lbs in your pack if you want to use training weight), but you're welcome to join for just one lap and/or hike without weight. The goal will be to finish within 2 hours, which should be right around sunset (bring a headlamp).

Trip Report

Our group met at the main parking lot at Mount Pisgah for a training hike in preparation for the upcoming mountaineering season. The hike included two trips up and down Trail #1 at a brisk pace with participants carrying 20-30 pounds of training weight in their backpacks. We set off under clear skies with beautiful views of the valley below. We stopped momentarily at the summit marker to enjoy the scenery before heading back down to our starting point. After a quick break, we headed back up for our second summit. We enjoyed lovely sunset views on our second lap and made it back down to the trailhead without needing to pull out our headlamps.
