Guided hikes and snowshoe trips geared toward those age 50 and older
|
||
 Three to four trips each week, Monday through Saturday, to various beautiful and
interesting locations in Central Oregon. All trips are led by a trained
guide/naturalist. Hiking trips are 2.5 to 9 miles; snowshoe trips 1.5 to 6 miles; each trip is rated as easy, intermediate, or advanced according to length, elevation gain and terrain. Hiking Highlights
• Incredible views of the Three Sisters, Mt. Washington and Mt. Jefferson from the Gate Creek Trail in the Willamette National Forest. • Wildflowers nodding in the breeze along the rumbling rapids of the spring-fed Metolious River. • The pristine, clear waters of Charlton Lake rippling in the breeze. • Paulina Peak soaring into the blue sky on the Newberry Crater trail. • Paulina Creek rushing through the narrow canyon down from Paulina Lake to tumble more than 80 feet as the wondrous Paulina Falls. • Fascinating geological history and strange, green, sinuous channels in the bottom of Sparks Lake along the Ray Atkinson Trail. We look forward to getting into the great outdoors with you!
