Description:

Turn right at the sign for West Summit Trailhead and follow pay fee/station signs. We meet one row down from the gate and pay station. If you don’t have a Lane County permit, allow time to use a credit card at the pay station by trailhead. Depending on weather, I plan to take back trails like #4 or #5 and #2 to the summit, avoiding the main trail #1. Our route will include a view of the burn area. Mileage and elevation could vary but around 6 miles at a steady pace. Estimated time is 3 hours so bring snacks. Email me at jbjacobsen@comcast.net if you have questions. The route is longer and harder than taking the main trail to the summit.

Trip Report

After we took the main trail to the summit we headed down Trail #2 and #6 (muddy powerline road) )to see the results of the fires and of logging. Back on #5 we had a gentle rain on our way to the Pavilion. Other than meeting a few people on the main trail, we had the back trails to ourselves.
