Hiking the Urban Forest

Skirting Eugene's south city boundary, the Ridgeline Trail cuts through forested hills easily accessed from several trail heads in or just outside the city limits. Snug and I entered the Ridgeline today from the Spring Blvd. trail head.

Being an urban forest, looking to the right, early on in our hike, the forest stretched up the mountain:

Snug loved this hike!

At long last, I think I am going to do the Coast to Coast hike. Google it. Unfortunately, it does NOT go through Eugene.

Wow, what a beautiful trail. I really enjoyed walking along the river near the mall when I was in Eugene.
