Enjoy a slow walk with little elevation gain through the blooming rock gardens with former Forest Botanist, Jenny Lippert. This is a perfect excursion for folks who like to take their time and smell the posies. The trail is gravel, and we will walk about 2 miles there and back, but there is little elevation gain. We’ll have plenty of time to take photos, key plants, and discover one of the jewels of the old Cascades. Meet at South Eugene High School parking lot at 19th and Patterson St. in Eugene to carpool. Bring lunch, water, a sun hat, your camera, hiking boots with good traction, and hiking poles if you need them. Sign up here.
