SUMMARY:Lava Beds/ Crater Lake Equinox
DESCRIPTION:This is a 4 day\, 3 night trip to the Lava Beds National Monument & Crater Lake National Park (this is the leader’s first visit to Lava Beds so the first part of the trip is exploratory). Lava Bed’s two main attractions are the historical sites of the Modoc War and exploring up to twenty the lava tube caves. Most of the caves have ladders and walkways. Some will involve crawling\, stooping through low sections\, and walking across rough floors. Only one cave has lighting. At Crater Lake\, we will enjoy stunning views from the western rim. Then celebrate the Autumnal Equinox with dinner at the historic Crater Lake Lodge. The final day we’ll visit Mount Scott the only location where the entire lake will fit into a regular camera’s view finder. Expect bright nights as a Harvest Moon will be approaching with each evening. \nTrip cost (campsite fess) will be determined in early September. \nDay 1: Thursday\, September 20\nWe’ll depart Eugene at 8 am and drive to the Lava Beds National Monument where we’ll arrive between Noon and 1 pm. The driving route will be 58 to 97 to Klamath Falls the over the California border to Lava Beds. Camping is first-come-first-served at the Monument’s Indian Wells Campground so finding 2 spots will be our first priority. Afterward\, we can hike the trails and explore some of the many caves. Pack light\, we might need to hike a quarter mile into the backcountry to camp if the campground is full (this is very unlikely\, but it is a possibility). There are no stores nearby. The campground has running water and flush toilets\, but no showers. \nDay 2: Friday\, September 21\nSpend all day exploring caves and hiking. \nDay 3: Saturday\, September 22 (Autumnal Equinox 6:54pm)\nBreak camp by 9 am\, if time and the route allow\, drive to the Petroglyph section to see some of the largest concentration of petroglyphs in the US. Our drive to Crater Lake’s western rim will take about 2.5 hours\, including a stretching stop.  At Crater Lake\, we will explore the Watchman that overlooks the lake\, and the picturesque Annie Creek Canyon near the campground. We will be overnighting in two tent camping areas at the Mazama campground. This is great opportunity to get cleaned up and enjoy a shower. Celebrate the equinox with 7 pm dinner reservations at the Crater Lake Lodge. Those who prefer to eat in the campground are welcome to do so. \nDay 4: Sunday\, September 23\nBreak camp by 9 am and drive to the eastern rim where we’ll start at the Mount Scott trailhead (hiking 5 miles round trip\, and 1\,300 feet of elevation gain) to the summit of Mount Scott (elevation of 8\,929) for breathtaking views of Crater Lake.  The drive back to Eugene is 3.5 hours. Plan to return late afternoon. \nNOTE 1 : There will not be a pre-trip meeting for this trip. About 3 weeks before the departure date the trip leader will touchbase with participants via email. The departure location will be provided\, \nNOTE 2 : If you are very uncomfortable with dark small spaces\, or elevations of ~9\,000 feet\, you might want to reconsider this trip.

SUMMARY:Waldo Perimeter
DESCRIPTION:***IMPORTANT***The hike will be cancelled should there be excessive smoke.  \nFor those in appropriate condition\, this is a chance to do a straightforward 20 mile hike.  The trail is not flat; there are stretches of short but significant climbs.  The plan is to get on the trail well before 8:30 and finish by 3:30.  Early miles when it is cool and one is fresh pay dividends in the afternoon\, when one is tired.  The top priority is to do the hike.  It’s long\, and we need to keep moving\, with short breaks to eat\, hydrate\, then move again before stiffening up.  I don’t plan doing 10 (miles) before 10 (am)\, but I would like to have lunch at South Shelter\, 13.5 miles in\, using the afternoon to finish the remaining miles. For those having difficulty\, Shadow Bay is a bail out option at about 15 miles.  Be able to walk comfortably at a walking pace for a long distance; I recommend the full river walk in Eugene\, which is 15 miles.

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 the trailhead is the same as Sullivan’s fourth edition #166. Old growth Douglas Fir and Cedar trees can be viewed along the trail. Hike will either end with lunch at “Constitution Grove” or beside the river another 1/2M or so down the trail. Fine river views on a relatively flat trail with good tread. Much of the blow-down encountered 2 years ago has been cleared.

SUMMARY:Three Fingered Jack
DESCRIPTION:We will meet bright and early at the Albertson’s parking lot in Springfield\, near the intersections of Main Street and 126.  Look for the group in the NE corner of the lot.  We’ll drive up to Santiam Pass\, climb 3FJ\, and return in the same day.  Expect a late return back to Eugene/Springfield.\nThree Fingered Jack is a great day climb.  Most of our distance will be covered on the PCT\, but don’t underestimate the climb/scramble up to the ridge.  This climb offers some exciting exposure and great views of the Oregon cascades on a clear day.  We will protect both the traverse and the final climb with rope systems.

SUMMARY:Divide Lake
DESCRIPTION:Two beautiful lakes are featured on this hike.  The first one\, rock rimmed Notch Lake\, is a good stop to shed a layer.  After attaining the ridge in a hemlock forest\, we drop down to our destination\, Divide Lake.  The trail passes below Mt. Yoran near the lake.  Options from this point are relax at the lake\, investigate the talus slopes of Mt Yoran\, or head on up the trail about a mile miles to the actual divide and find the PCT just beyond.  Interesting glaciated rocks around Divide Lake.  Notch Lake is a good spot to stop on the way out for a wade or swim

SUMMARY:Mt. Pisgah
DESCRIPTION:Don’t let the early departure time discourage you. It is a refreshing time of day to hike at Pisgah. For the four mile hike to the summit\, we  will take # 5 through the south meadow up to Trail 3 with its great views to the west and then up the steep Trail 6 (south ridge). From the summit\, we have several options: take main trail or Trail 2 to  intersect with Trail 4 or just take the main trail (shortest) to the parking lot. I estimate 2 1⁄2 hours — before the football game at 11:00.  Meet at my car in the parking area below the fee box. No need to come earlier. It will be a quick check in. if you have questions\, my email is : jbjacobsen@comcast. net   You will need a Lane County Parks Pass. There is a fee box (no cash) for a day pass.  Moderate pace.

SUMMARY:Mt. Pisgah
DESCRIPTION:Don’t let the early departure time discourage you. It is a refreshing time of day to hike at Pisgah. For the four mile hike to the summit\, we  will take # 5 through the south meadow up to Trail 3 with its great views to the west and then up the steep Trail 6 (south ridge). From the summit\, we have several options: take main trail or Trail 2 to  intersect with Trail 4 or just take the main trail (shortest) to the parking lot. I estimate 2 1⁄2 hours. Meet at my car in the parking area below the fee box. No need to come earlier. It will be a quick check in. if you have questions\, my email is : jbjacobsen@comcast. net   You will need a Lane County Parks Pass. There is a fee box (no cash) for a day pass.  Moderate pace.
