Mount June Trail

08/17/22

As far as I know there are two trails you can take to get to the summit, but I took the the one officially named Mount June trailhead on google maps. I believe the other one is about 10 miles. It is about an hour and 10 min to get to the trailhead once you get off the 5 wether you are coming from Eugene or Cottage Grove. I highly recommend a vehicle with some kind of off-roading capability. The trail itself is only 2.2 - 2.4 miles with around 915ft of elevation gain. It is moderately steep with a few downed trees to climb over or under. Lots of douglas fir and although I did this hike in the winter and there was still lots of snow on the ground, I have heard that it is very pretty in the spring and summer as well. The summit sits at 4,618 feet and is the tallest peak in the area. At the very top you get great views of Three Sister's and Diamond Peak. On the way down there is also a section where you get beautiful views of the city. All in all it is a short, but strenuous hike with very rewarding views. Highly recommend.

Hike to Spirit, Moon, and Pinard Falls

Spirit Falls is the first stop on this adventure. From the parking pull-out walk a short distance of 0.4 miles to the 40 foot fan falls. Don't let the small size deter you, this is a pretty little falls, with a lovely stroll through an old growth forest and beautiful little trilliums. There is a picnic table near the base of the falls and nice little creek. This trail gets super muddy from the ...

Spencer Butte Loop

Getting There Searching Spencer Butte Trailhead Parking Lot on Google Maps will direct you to exactly where you need to go. From downtown Eugene/ UO you'll drive south on Willamette St. until you see an official park sign for Spencer Butte Park. Take a left on the gated road (will be locked during closed hours - around 9 pm to 6 am), and drive up to the large parking lot. There is room for abo...

Terwilliger (Cougar) Hot Springs

Soaking in Terwilliger (otherwise known as "Cougar") hot springs is a great way to relax and wind back while exploring the Cascades. A spring flows from a small cave and cascades into multiple pools leading down a small gully, creating pools which have varying temperatures from hot (closer to the springs) to warm (the bottom pool). Terwilliger hot springs are easily accessed - turn off highway...

Summit Diamond Peak

At 8,743 feet, Diamond Peak is almost as tall as the other iconic volcanoes of the Oregon Cascades, but sees just a fraction of the people. Outside the range of casual Portland day hikes and hard to see from the highway and from other peaks, Diamond Peak and the spectacular wilderness surrounding it tend to pass under the radar. But, thanks to its position just west of the Cascade range crest,...
