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.

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.
