SUMMARY:Broken Top
DESCRIPTION:I am hoping to do this as a day mission\, leaving the Green Lakes Trailhead Early on Saturday Morning of the 12th.  The route is relatively straight forward with a classic amount of Cascade choss\, a few low 5th class moves (5.0 ish) and then a fun walk over an exposed narrow catwalk.  Makes for a great day out with great views of the Sisters!  We can discuss sleeping at the trailhead or meeting and carpooling early on the 12th as we get closer. Meetup/Departure Location: TBD

SUMMARY:Finley Wildlife Refuge
DESCRIPTION:Early leave time to beat the valley heat.  Finley is noted for birding but this is a hike.  I will point out areas that are good for birding for those who are interested.  This is a lovely hike a mixed forest of oaks and firs.  We will combine the Woodpecker trail with the Mill Pond trail.  At one point you get a great view of the valley.  We will stop at headquarters for a snack break. There is the possibility to stop at the Monroe brew pub for lunch for those interested.  The trail is a combination of old farm roads an trails.  Low elevation\, means poison oak along the edges so I advise log pants. They do a good job of trail grooming but just in case.

SUMMARY:Three Fingered Jack
DESCRIPTION:Starting at the Pacific Crest Trailhead\, the approach to Three Finger Jack starts slow\, with a gentle gradient through dense Oregon forest. As we move beyond the treeline\, the true challenge starts\, a combination of class 3 and 4 scramble sections\, with talus/scree slopes and exposed ridges requiring adept footwork. The most psychologically demanding part is “the crawl”\, a narrow and exposed ledge just beneath the summit\, which requires a cautious traverse on a fixed line. After this is a short 5th class climb and plank walk to the top of the weathered volcanic plug of Three Finger Jack. This is a technical\, fun alpine climb. \nPlease have prior experience on several other mountains. Meetup/Departure Location: Santiam Pass / Pacific Crest Trail

SUMMARY:Amazon Hdwtrs/Spencer Butte
DESCRIPTION:TRAIL WORK IS DONE!!  STARTING FROM MARTIN STREET AGAIN \nNOTE: Flexible departure time from 7:45 to 8:00.  \nEvery Wednesday since 2013 we do this hike from the Martin Street Trailhead to the summit of Spencer Butte. Compared to starting at the paved Spencer Butte parking lot\, this hike has double the climbing and three times the distance. It is a conditioning hike where everyone is challenging themselves to go at a moderate or fast pace—not like the other hikes on our schedule. If this is your first time on this Obsidian conditioning hike\, or hiking to Spencer Butte\, you may want to call the leader to discuss the pace. If you should fall too far behind\, the leaders reserve the right to have you not summit but wait and return with the group.  The regulars on this hike have attained their fitness by showing up consistently and slowly improving.  If you have questions\, email summertrips@obsidians.org. Come a few minutes early because we leave promptly at the listed time. To get to the trailhead: Take West Amazon to Martin Street. Turn left. Drive past Kinney Park and park Martin Street near the Kiosk sign board across from Canyon Drive Street sign with hiker symbol. Please contact the leader if you have any questions.

SUMMARY:Finley—Woodpecker & Mill Hill
DESCRIPTION:Meet at the Jerry’s Home Improvement Center parking lot  (2600 OR-99\, Eugene\, OR 97402) on the east side near the main entrance and Hwy 99. We will carpool from there. Our route will be 99W > W on Dawson Road > N on Bellfountain Road > Finley Refuge Road (gravel) to the Woodpecker Loop parking area. There is a pit toilet at the trailhead. \nThis is a nature-viewing hike on the forested west side on the FInley National Wildlife Refuge.  \nWe will begin hiking on the Woodpecker Loop going counter-clockwise. Within the first 20 minutes we will pass through an oak savanna where we hope to see views of the Three Sisters in the distance. Hopefully a few maples will be turning colors in the trail. At the Inter-tie Trail we head south passing the park headquarters to the Mill Hill Trail where we will go counter-clockwise around the loop\, returning again past the park headquarters. We will rest a bit at the HQ\, visit the park store and enjoy the interpretive displays there. We will wrap-up the hikes by taking the Inter-tie trail back to the Woodpecker Loop Trailhead.  \nLunch will be somewhere on the trail. Dress for the weather. We plan to return to the Jerry’s parking lot between 3pm and 4pm. The trip leader has been on about half of this trail\, not the Mill Hill Loop.
