Description:

This hike originates at MP 48ish on Hwy 22. The trailhead is on the north side of the road and clearly marked. Ascend 4.8 miles on Tumble Lake Trail~3000' to the intersection with Dome Rock Trail. Then descend 2.2 miles ~800 feet to Tumble Lake. There is a 100' waterfall for a reward. Return. Optional ascent to the top of Dome Rock on the way back, an additional 200 or so very steep feet to the site of a former lookout.
The Tumble Lake trail is all decked out in Bear Grass, Rhodies, and more as of 5/18. The descent to Tumble Lake is exploratory.
The leader will meet the group at the trailhead. 3 days before the hike I will send a group email so anyone wishing to carpool from Eugene can coordinate with others.
We will leave promptly at 8:30. Please be kind enough to cancel if not going, or text is some emergency makes you late.
This is very hard and we will be moving briskly. Please be in shape.

Trip Report

2 Obsidians had a wonderful wildflower scented hike. The weather sunny, with a cool breeze couldn\'t have been better. We were not able to get all the way to Tumble Lake due to a pick up stick array of downed timber. Made it to approximately 1/2 mile from the lake, using Gaia to guide us for the last half mile where the trail was obscure. We did enjoy looking at the lake and falls from the top of Dome Rock, which we lunched on on the way out.
