🥾🌲🌞Date Change:Hike Meadow Day Use Past Big Eddie 6 Miles RT MODERATE PACE

********* DATE** changed to May 15****th because I have a doctor’s appointment. I can**’t** reschedule. Sorry about the change.

🥾🌲This is one of my favorite repeat hikes!!! We are headed back to experience the sights and sounds of the Upper Deschutes on this beautiful 6 mile RT out and back MODERATE/BRISK PACE Hike!

Much of the trail is flat, but there are rocky sections you have to navigate. That challenges your footwork, which is why I like to bring poles to maintain my balance on the rocks.

We can expect temps in the 60s and 70s
during our time on the trail and mostly sunny.😎

Our hike begins in the Deschutes National Forest at Meadow Day Use and our turnaround point is not too far past big Eddy. There are restrooms at the trailhead and Big Eddy. Poles recommended if you’re worried about your knees or need extra stability**. There are many, many rocks to navigate on certain sections of the trail.

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO:

PLEASE BE ON TIME! ARRIVE 5-10 MINUTES EARLY.
Bring plenty of water and a snack.
Dress in layers.
Please wear appropriate hiking shoes.
Trail shoes and hiking boots are recommended.
No dogs this time.

DIRECTIONS: From Bend: Travel 6.2 miles West on Cascade Lakes Hwy (46), turn left at the brown MEADOW PICNIC AREA Road Sign. (It does not say Day Use Area on this sign). Turn onto FS - 4600. 100 (gravel road). Drive 1 mile South. As you enter day use area, continue to end of road. Look for my royal blue van.******
