SUMMARY:Mt Shasta
DESCRIPTION:Mt. Shasta is one of the most beautiful mountains in the Cascade Range\, with sweeping views and amazing landscape. This is a two-day climb to 14\,179 feet\, with one night of snow camping. We will ascend Avalanche Gulch\, the main climbing route\, spending the night at Helen Lake (frozen somewhere under all the snow).  We will also consider the more remote Hotlum-Bolam ridge\, if road and mountain conditions permit\, and the group is up for the challenge. \nThis is a strenuous climb so participants fitness level should be up to the challenge.  \nFor more info\, see:\nhttps://docs.google.com/document/d/1WWu50Y63mX-AQk-hE6EUIT9K4wvtYqvmRaSYiiJRgFA/edit?usp=sharing\n Meetup/Departure Location: Bunny Flat Tarilhead\, Mt.

SUMMARY:Obsidian Grounds
DESCRIPTION:The primary focus of his work party will be dressing and expanding of the planting beds\, that includes weeding the beds and expansion areas before wheelbarrowing and placing bark mulch.  We could also do blackberry clearing to clean out and  to expose native growth  in various areas around the Lodge if we get enough help.  And\, there is still one good sized tree down from the snow storm that needs removal from behind the Lodge\, as well as some smaller debris back there to cleanup.

SUMMARY:Upper Weyerhaeuser Haul Rd
DESCRIPTION:Departure location:  Pisgah Public Market parking lot in Pleasant Hill – 35851 Hwy 58.  Take the Oakridge exit off of I-5.  After 4 miles watch for the Maill on your left after the 76 gas station.  Park in the middle of the parking lot by the light pole. \nThis is an exploratory hike for me.  Trail miles and elevation gain are approximate using GPS technology.  We will be hiking the old road between Hills Creek Rd and Upper Fall Creek Rd.  I have driven to both ends and have talked to people who have hiked or biked the road.\nWe need four drivers who can take five per car.  We will park two on the Hills Creek entrance and drive to the end of Upper Fall Creek Rd where we will start our hike.

DESCRIPTION:I consider this an exploratory hike for me.  I was involved in the SOLVE beach clean up and thought it would be a different slice of the beach that I have not hiked in years.  So\, besides spending most of our time walking along the ocean in what ever conditions the weather present\, we can consider lunch or early dinner in town before we head home.

SUMMARY:Rooster Rock
DESCRIPTION:Update: Plan your route to  departure place to avoid the Eugene Marathon. Departs from: Springfield\, Winco Parking lot\, I-105/Mohawk. 1920 Olympic Street\, Springfield. This gives us easy access to get on I-105\, take Mohawk exit to Marcola\, Mohawk Valley and to Sweet Home.It is another 21 miles on Highway 20 to the Trout Creek Trailhead and the Menagerie Wilderness (established1984). UPDATE: East of Sweet Home\, we will meet Paul at a Rest area—also a bathroom stop— across from Point Restaurant\, 6305 Highway 20.     From Sweet Home it is 21 miles to the trailhead. It is a wilderness so the limit is 12.  It will be a moderate steady pace for the uphill hike. It would be like hiking Mt. Pisgah twice with few stops. From the junction with the old climbers’ trail\, it climbs 750′ in the last half mile. From the top\, there is a view east and we should see Hen Rock\, Turkey Monster\, and Chicken Rock hidden in the rugged terrain. Rooster Rock\, was once a lookout.  I’ll probably substitute if heavy rain is predicted.

SUMMARY:Silver Falls
DESCRIPTION:This is a wonderful hike! Water flow on the “Trail of 10 Falls” should be powerful at this time of the year.  The canyon is lush with greenery year round and spring wildflowers will have emerged.The hike will start at the North Falls parking lot. Lunch break is planned for the South Falls Lodge (about 5 miles in) where there is usually a fire going if we need warmth and food/beverages can be purchased at the Snack bar. If it’s a sunny day\, we can settle into outdoor seating. After lunch we will hike a mile on the Rim Trail\, then drop back into the canyon on the Winter Falls trail and enjoy a number of the waterfalls a 2nd time viewing them from the opposite direction as we return upstream to our start point.  \nOptional: When we arrive at the South Falls Lodge\, folks have the option of relaxing there and waiting to be picked up after the rest of the group completes the loop.  \nAn Oregon State Parks annual or $5 daily pass is required for each car. Daily passes can be purchased on site; the group will share the expense. .

SUMMARY:Cottonwood Canyon State Park
DESCRIPTION:This is Oregon newest state park.  It sit along the John Day River 12 miles southeast of Wasco Oregon and 10 miles from the Columbia River Gorge.  I have been here twice so I am familiar with their very basic trail system.  This is composed right now of the existing old ranch roads running along both sides of the river.  The last time I was there I extended my hiking using animal trails to the top of the canyon.  I also started exploring side canyons which I intend to do more of on this trip.  In late April we should be seeing wildflowers and several kinds of migrating birds.  There are a large number of raptors in the area including Golden Eagles.  There are also Big Horn Sheep in this area.  I saw 6 the last time I was there.  The CG has great showers\, no quarters needed.  I consider this and exploratory trip.  You need to be comfortable off trail on rocky terrain.  We will be using both the ranch roads\, very easy\, and exploring more difficult ground.  I will be calling everyone who signs up to discuss any question or concerns.
