Or bring a sack lunch to eat in the park. Sometime after lunch we will visit Sanity Chocolate to learn about the process of making chocolate. Bring extra cash to purchase some of the shop’s delicacies.

SUMMARY:Amazon Hdwtrs/Spencer Butte
DESCRIPTION:NOTE THE TIME CHANGE TO 8 AM—-If this is your first time on this Obsidian hike and/or if this is first time you have hiked up Spencer Butte from the lowest elevation\, you may want to call the leader to discuss the pace.

If you have questions\, email summertrips@obsidians.org.Every Wednesday 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. A great way to get and stay in shape.  Registered guests are welcome.  \nTo get to the trailhead: Take West Amazon to Martin Street. Turn left. Drive past Kinney Park and park on Martin Street at the Kiosk sign board across from Canyon Drive Street sign with hiker symbol.

SUMMARY:Trans Crescent Mt.  w/Car Shuttle
DESCRIPTION:W \nThis is a chance to hike across the top of Crescent Mountain from the south and end up at the north trailhead\, by S. Pyramid Creek.  It is an interesting hike with initially descending 150’ over the first mile to Maude Creek\, then climbing significantly to the meadows\, where the wildflowers should be great.  There is always a chance of blowdowns\, but this mountain has been worked a little (by me) and a lot (by a couple out of Sisters).  Lunch will be on top\, with views from Mt. Adams to Diamond Peak.  We will then descend on the north side\, through woods\, with some up and down\, past an open area with good views of Jefferson and Three-fingered Jack\, down to a nice creek and up to the cars.  The shuttle is just over 9 miles back to the south trailhead.  It can qualify for a moderate hike on the basis of distance\, but the climb out of Maude Creek is significant although the trail is good.  If there are crowds on the south side….well\, there probably will be fewer on the north\, judging by what I saw.  The hike needs 3 cars for 8 people and 4 for any more up to 11\, which is the maximum.  \nNOTE: if there aren’t four cars\, we can only take 8. If there are only two cars\, we can only take 5.

SUMMARY:Middle Sister
DESCRIPTION:We will be doing the North Ridge Route on Middle Sister.  The climb will involve an approximately 5.5 mile hike in from the Pole Cr trail head on Saturday June 15\, then camp and get up early Sunday to climb.  Previously on the hike in we have not needed snow shoes and some people have preferred to ski.  Our high camp (~7200’) will not likely have water so we will plan on melting snow though hopefully we’ll find a site where we don’t have to camp on snow.  On Sunday we will get up early (4:30 AM) and head for the summit. There is one steep portion of the climb above the saddle between Middle and North\, and we will set a fixed line there for safety.  After summiting we’ll come back to camp and pack up and hike out.

SUMMARY:Koosah Falls around Clear Lake
DESCRIPTION:We will park at the trailhead for Koosah Falls and hike east past Sahalie Falls. After crossing the highway we will make the loop around Clear Lake and head back to Koosah Falls.  The main elevation gain is the 1.5 miles to Clear Lake and then relatively flat around the lake.  The pace will be moderate. The plan is to stop for lunch at Clear Lake Resort using their picnic tables.  The resort store should be open for snacks.

SUMMARY:Crestmont Landtrust Complex
DESCRIPTION:This pleasant hike through a pastoral setting west of Corvallis connects Benton County’s Fitton Green Natural Area with a wooded parcel owned by the Crestmont Land Trust\, a private nonprofit whose mission ranges from conservation and habitat restoration to environmental education and outdoor recreation. We’ll amble past  the Mary’s River\, take our time to read the interesting interpretative signs\, and eat lunch with a fine view of the foothills of the Coast Range and Willamette Valley. Following lunch we will descend to the Bald Hill Natural Area adjoining Corvallis. \nNOTE. This hike requires a short car shuttle. The outing will only occur if there are sufficient drivers to transport 10 hikers. Please volunteer to drive if you can.

SUMMARY:Mt June (via Lost Creek)
DESCRIPTION:This is a classic\, nearby hike with a great pay-off – relatively short drive\, longer hike\, great views\, and lots of wildflowers.  You can see the entire Cascade range from the top (former fire station lookout)- from Diamond Peak to Mt. Hood. Bill Sullivan’s book has this hike listed\, but it’s from two different trailheads\, although the Lost Creek trail is shown in faint print.\nThe Obsidians did this hike on 5/19 and saw only the early flowers – calypso orchids\, fawn lilies\, and OR grape. Others should be in full bloom 3 weeks later. A quote from someone who hiked it on 6/5 and posted on the Alltrails site: “What an amazing vista\, a beautiful day and the panorama full of the highest Cascade peaks. Simply stunning. Go\, now!”

SUMMARY:South Sister - Prouty Glacier
DESCRIPTION:The Prouty Glacier on South Sister is a great introduction to traveling on a glacier as part of a rope team.  This alternate route up South Sister provides a much different perspective than the standard route.  We’ll hike in on Saturday to Green Lakes and spend a short night.  We’ll get an ‘alpine start’ Sunday morning so that we can be on the summit of South Sister before the glacier warms up.  We’ll then make our way back down to Green Lakes via a climbers trail to pack up camp\, hike back out to the trailhead\, and drive home all in the same day. \n Meetup/Departure Location: ShopKo Coburg Rd/Chad Dr\,(btwn ShopKo & Taco Bell)

SUMMARY:Diamond Peak - Graduation
DESCRIPTION:Diamond Peak is a good introduction to non-technical snow climbing.  At 8750 ft\, it is the tallest mountain in the Willamette Pass area.  We will be climbing via the Pioneer Gulch route\, which is 8 miles round trip and almost 4\,000 ft of elevation gain.

SUMMARY:McKenzie - Sahalie to Tamolitch
DESCRIPTION:This is one of my favorite stretches of the McKenzie River Trail.  We will park at Koosah Falls and hike east to Sahalie Falls then loop around the back side down to Carmen Reservoir. The trail continues behind the reservoir and wanders through old growth forests sticking close to the river and includes some river wetlands.  We will loose the river as it goes under an obsidian shelf to meet us at Tamolitch Falls/Pool also known as Blue Pool.  After a leisurely lunch we will hike back to Koosah falls.  This part of the trail has far less foot traffic than going to Tamolitch from Trail Bridge Reservoir.

SUMMARY:Hardesty Mountain
DESCRIPTION:I scouted this on Memorial Day\, and other than 4 small blowdowns\, step-overs or go-unders\, it is clear.  What is remarkable are the wildflowers all along the trail: Inside out\, rhodies\, whipplea\, and at the top large carpets of oxalis\, with fawn lilies\, Shelton’s violets\, snow queen\, bleeding hearts\, and even Oregon grape blooming at the top.  The trail is not as muddy as it can be\, but it still climbs steadily.  I’m starting early\, because I need to be at the Lodge at 2 pm for Trails Day.  This isn’t the double black diamond one\, because we can’t even find the Eula Ridge Trail at the bottom under the blowdowns. Still\, it is a superb conditioning hike close to town.  Plan on a break at Crale Creek Road about 40% of the climbing done. From there\, it is steady but really nice.  I plan on clearing at least two if not three of the four hazards\, but other than that it should be a good hike.

SUMMARY:Amazon Hdwtrs/Spencer Butte
DESCRIPTION:If this is your first time on this Obsidian hike and/or if this is first time you have hiked up Spencer Butte from the lowest elevation\, you may want to call the leader to discuss the pace.  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 you have questions\, you can also email summertrips@obsidians.org.\nEvery Wednesday 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’s a great way to get and stay in shape.  Registered guests are welcome.  \nTo get to the trailhead: Take West Amazon to Martin Street. Turn left. Drive past Kinney Park and park on Martin Street at the Kiosk sign board across from Canyon Drive Street sign with hiker symbol. One can take LTD Bus #28 to Martin Street. s from Canyon Drive Street sign with the hiker symbol.
