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. Depending on weather, I plan to take back trails to the summit, avoiding the main trail #1. UPDATED: The route I plan to take will be 7 miles with 1600 the elevation gain. It will include the new reroute of Trail 4 and a loss of elevation before we hike up challenging Trail 2. It will be 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 or continuing with me on Trail 4 and 17. 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).
