We will hike 2.5 miles to the viewpoint on Tam McAurthur Rim then continue along the trail and a user trail 2.2 miles to Broken Hand. We will hike around Broken Hand. This small section of trail is narrow and has drop off on one side\, so caution is necessary. Once around Broken Hand we will be able to look down on Broken Top lake nestled in the crater. This lake is sometimes called “No Name Lk”. We will be able to hike along the rim for awhile and scramble down a good trail to the lake.\nIt is a long\, but very rewarding\, day.

It is about a 10 mile trip round trip. Then\, there is a great ridge with a bit of exposure that we will scramble up. Then we put on our harnesses and climb the final rock to the summit.

The trail starts along Waldo Lake and then turns North to venture around the Upper & Lower Ridgon lakes and Lake Kiwa. About 70% of this area burned in 1996 but is coming to life with new young trees now 4-12 feet tall. The treasure of this hike at this time of the year are HUCKLEBERRIES.

We will return the way we came\, except at Diamond Creek Falls we will take the other side of the loop that leads back to our starting point at Salt Creek Falls. There will be plenty of time for photographs of the pretty waterfalls and Vivian Lake. Scouting notes from August 7: very shady overall\, generally well marked trail but some ambiguous trail junctions. Ripe huckleberries in several places. Need mosquito repellent. Side trip to view Diamond Creek Falls from below was very worthwhile.

I am looking forward to our small group exploration. The weather will be warm in the afternoon–in the 80’s. We will be near the McKenzie\, and doing most of our activity before 3 PM. \nI plan on bringing an 8 cup container and a 4 cup container which fit into my day pack. The farms will hold our berries if we decide to loop back to pick the harvest up. I will bring freezer baggies in case we need them. \nThe Plan:\nMeet 8:05 AM “G” Station at LTD Downtown Eugene.\nDepart LTD Bus # 91 McKenzie River at 8:20 AM\nReturn 4:30 PM LTD Bus from Leaburg\nArrive at 9 AM U-Pick Blueberries at Organic Redneck Farm. Use a buddy system—price break at 10 pounds. Berry system will last til mid August. Then walk upriver along the Leaburg Canal to the EWEB dam and Fish Hatchery.\n11 AM Tour at Leaburg Fish Hatchery. EWEB has been required to lower the water in the Leaburg canal. How has this impacted local fisheries?\nAfter lunch near the Leaburg reservoir and Dam\, we will follow the canal levee downriver to Greenwood Drive. We will walk along Greenwood Drive. Here we are closer to the river. We have several choices of what to do. Small Mom and Pop farms have more berries and lavender for sale. \n3:30 PM We have a choice to stop at a boat landing or to tour a second Salmon Fish Hatchery to hear about the impact of canal hydrology and spawning salmon. If we tour the Salmon Fish Hatchery\, we will catch the bus at the Hatchery at about 4:30. I am bringing bright bicycle vests for safe walking to HWY bus stop. It is really a short distance. \nBring your curiosity and questions about our foods and fish and nearby rural community.
