Description:

Meeting place: Mt. Pisgah, West (main) Trailhead, by the bathrooms. If you don’t have a Lane County pass, be sure to allow time to purchase one with a Debit/Credit card (no cash) at the fee box by the upper trailhead.
We should see lots of spring flowers on this hike! We will follow the Incense Cedar Trail and Trails 5, 56 and 6 to the summit, where we will gather for water and a snack. (At this point, those who prefer a shorter hike can return from the summit directly via main Trail 1, a total of about 5 miles and 2-2.5 hours.) To complete the long route, we will descend on Trail 2, then follow Trails 4 and 3 around Swing Hill to the North Trailhead, and finally return to the West Trailhead along the river trail. It will probably take about 4 hours to hike the 9.4 miles. We can adjust the route if the weather is poor.

Trip Report

The blue camas blossoms were lovely! Other flowers in bloom since last week included cat's ear, larkspur, and Hooker's fairy bells. Ten of us successfully avoided Eugene Marathon traffic and arrived in time to start out together on the Pisgah long route. Two others met up with us later at the summit. Six of us completed the long route, while the other six chose various shorter routes back to the main trailhead. We were grateful for cool, misty weather instead of the very warm, sunny conditions of the previous day.
