SUMMARY:North Fork Willamette (Upper Section)
DESCRIPTION:Beautiful river/forest hike along the North Fork of the Middle Fork of the Willamette. Not in Sullivan’s Central Oregon Cascades hiking book. \, but this trailhead is the same one as Sullivan’s fourth edition #166. Old growth Douglas Fir and Cedar trees can be viewed along the trail. Hike will end at “Constitution Grove\, unless the group wishes to proceed further. Fine river views on a relatively flat trail with good tread. Unless the trail has been recently cleared\, expect to encounter several large log crossings.
