Trip Report

Typical Oregon hike in the mist. Cool temperature and not a lot of people on the trail. The amount of water in the creek showed off all the water falls that occur along the length of the trail. One down branch blocking the trail to the upper falls but this was easy to negotiate. I had not hike this trail in a couple of years and I can see it’s age and the amount of use it gets is showing. Still a classic Oregon hike. At the end two went off to lunch in Florence and two went off to find the Beaver Creek trailhead, which was not located, and returned to Eugene.
