Field Trip: Blachly Mountain Forest
Leader: Ed Alverson
Blachly Mountain Forest is a close-in old growth forest located along Highway 36 on the Coast Range Divide between Cheshire and Triangle Lake. The old route of Highway 36 is closed and makes for a nice walking route through the lush forest with a good variety of typical lowland forest plants. Our route will cover around three miles roundtrip with about 350 feet of elevation gain. If there is time and interest, we can also stop at the nearby Alderwood Wayside on the way back to Eugene. Meet at South Eugene High (corner of 19th and Patterson) at 9:00 am. Bring water, lunch, sturdy footwear, and rain gear as needed. Sign up here.
