Calling all nature photographers and photo-curious hikers! Let’s greet the morning light with cameras in hand and creativity in our stride. We’re heading to Mount Pisgah for a peaceful photo-focused hike through the Arboretum and up to the summit for those who want the view.

We’ll start at the Mount Pisgah Arboretum trailhead at 8:00 AM, right as the soft morning light hits the trees and meadows — ideal for capturing misty landscapes, wildflowers, and those hidden Pacific Northwest textures.

The hike is about 3 miles roundtrip, moderate with some incline, and the summit is optional depending on your vibe and gear. Along the way, we’ll take our time — stopping for shots, sharing photo tips, and soaking in the beauty of Oregon’s spring bloom.

👟 What to bring:

• Sturdy walking shoes or hiking boots
• Water + light snack
• Camera, phone, or whatever you shoot with
• Light layers (mornings can be chilly)
• $5 parking or Lane County Parks pass

No pro gear or experience required — just bring your curiosity, eye for beauty, and love of nature. This is a great opportunity to connect with fellow photographers, swap tips, and explore Eugene’s natural beauty through your lens.
