Description:

With recent heavy rain, the Upper and Lower Trestle Falls should have high water flow. Autumn leaves may still be colorful. Lund Park Trailhead will be the starting point, hiking east on Brice Creek Trail to a junction with the Upper Trestle Loop. This has some steep ground and a couple challenging portions to get down and up past a root ball. The trail goes behind the upper falls and continues down the east side through more beautiful forest. Returning to Brice Creek Trail will take us to a turn off for Lower Brice Creek Falls, then back to our trailhead on Brice Creek. Snack breaks and lunch breaks will be taken along the way.
**Meet at LCC at 8:30, then drive to Walmart in Cottage Grove where I will meet you and we'll continue to the trailhead.

Trip Report

Oh what a lovely fall day to amble along Brice Creek Trail and Trestle Falls Loop. Most of the leaves have fallen so the ones still on the trees were striking. Going behind Upper Trestle Falls is always a thrill. The lower falls was equally lovely. Many stops were made to study and admire the mushrooms. Visits with other hikers added to our enjoyment. Lunch along Brice Creek near the confluence with Trestle Creek was pleasant and calm. It was another lovely day in the great outdoors.
