Description:
The North Bank Habitat is near Roseburg, exit 135, Wilbur, then on North Bank Rd to the West Entrance. The drive takes around 1 hour and 15 minutes. The up and down loop hike on old ranch roads has rolling—with at least seven steep & challenging hills— up to and along the ridgeline with oak savannas, meadows, and views of the Umpqua River. One can easily avoid the poison oak at this time of year. I expect the few muddy sections to be dry. We should start hiking around 9:30 and complete the hike around 2:30. It will be a steady moderate pace with a snack break at the usual picnic table and a late lunch. The weather forecast looks good. Pace will be almost moderate as we enjoy the views and the spring flowers—there were so many when I hiked the trail last week. Hike is limited to the !2 of us departing from Eugene plus the member who lives in Roseburg.
