Description:

Description: Turn right at the sign for West Summit Trailhead and follow pay fee signs. Look for the yellow fee box. I'll try to have my car in the row below so that it is easy for us to meet, sign up. etc. IDepending on weather, I plan to take back trails to the summit, avoiding the main trail #1. Mileage and elevation could vary but around 6 miles to 7.4 at a steady pace. Estimated time is 3 hours so bring snacks. Once we reach the summit, you have the option of going back down on the main trail for total of 6 miles or continuing on to north trailhead for a total of 7.4 miles. Email me at jbjacobsen@comcast.net if you have questions.
If you don’t have a Lane County pass allow time to purchase one 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

Our 2 1/2 hour hike to the summit included a side trip to the Arboretum Buford Trail to see the under construction Oak Woodlands Exhibit with a tree sculpture. Seven hikers opted to take a shortcut, Trail 24, to make it in time for the Women's March. The rest of us took the new Trail 4 reroute to connect with Trail 2 to the summit.
