Description:

Description: Turn right at the sign for West Summit Trailhead and follow pay fee signs. Look for the new 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. 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 with Debit/Credit card (no cash) 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

We made a quick stop at the Patricia Baker Wildflower Garden to see the pink fawn lilies before we headed up the steep Trail 35 to the main trail. Intersecting with Trail 4 soon made our way to Trail 6 and a quick jaunt up to Trail 2 and a a bit slower jaunt up to the summit. We saw one person on the the back trails but we met a steady stream of hikers on the main trail. All three tiers of the parking lot were filled. It was a beautiful day to enjoy Mt. Pisgah. The hike took 2 hours and 45 minutes. MIleage is an estimate.
