Oregon Hikers

We hiked the Falls Creek Trail from Falls Creek Horse Camp to the Falls Creek Falls overlook over two days, giving us time to check out the Lava Caves. We followed the great field guide description, day hiking from the Falls Creek Horse Camp to FR 67 with a stop at the Lava Caves on the way back. In...

Thanks for opening the trail. I hiked from Railcar Falls to Kueffler Rd in 2018 and from Kueffler Rd to Hardy Ridge and on to Hardy Creek in 2019. Don't know if all this was along your trail, but I don't recall too many problems except a ~200 ft bushwack from Phlox point down to a trail to the west....

Thanks for the info, although if this wasn't the old Russ Jolley trail then someone else made this trail?

We followed the Field Guide directions up Duncan Creek to Railcar Falls, then backtracked to the Russ Jolley trail. There were three cars at the trailhead and the trail is in great shape; see...

The trail is in pretty good shape. Between the Carmen dam and Blue Pool there are many low hanging mapl...

I somehow missed these responses. Thank you for the great info!

There are rhododendrons blooming now on the lower section of the McKenzie River Trail, up stream of the ranger station. Blooms are lovely but not an area dense with rhodies.

We didn’t hike around the lake, just from the Eagle Creek trail to the junction where the PCT turns toward Indian Springs. There was snow everywhere we could see; however, it did seem like being near water impacted the snow level (cooling effect?) We crossed snow on the hike up near a stream, then n...
