REPEAT: Bend Watershed & Bridge Creek
Details
NOTE: This hike is on a Tuesday. It's a repeat of the Sept 30th hike. I moved people over in sequence from the original hike's Waitlist. Please keep your attendance up to date in consideration of others.
The hike: 11 miles total out and back, 1500 vertical, topping out at 6400 ft. No steep pitches, no switchbacks. Starts at Tumalo Falls, but within 200 yards we'll have the trails to ourselves. The high point is the true head of the Bend watershed where we'll probably eat lunch. We'll explore a couple of other interesting little places along the way.
There are some marshy areas, so I recommend water proof/resistant footwear, or at least wool socks. There are also some off-trail segments.
Dogs are not allowed in the Bend Watershed.
