Description:

Please note: The description below is from pre-ice storm trips. Changes to the route may be necessary, and be prepared to be flexible if we encounter unforeseen trail issues.

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 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 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 entire 9.4 miles. We can adjust the route if the weather is poor.

Trip Report

It was wonderful to return to Mt. Pisgah trails, newly reopened after damage from the ice storm. Thank you so much to the staff and volunteers who put so much work into removing hazards and clearing roads and trails. Our group enjoyed a beautiful sunny day. We all trekked up to the summit by the usual route for this hike. Four of us returned to the parking lot via the main trail, north parking lot and river trail. Due to the remaining trail closures, the rest of us only added on a loop down Trail 2 to the powerline road, then around on Trail 4 back up to the main trail. We were happy to see that we hadn't missed the spring wildflowers, and we spotted snow queen, spring beauty, houndstongue, trillium, fawn lily, pale baby blue eyes, and more. It was a great day with a great group.
