Middle Section of Tumalo Creek
Details
Description: 9 miles, 950 vertical feet. Please note: The first 2.5 mile section of this hike is a little more rugged than our usual outings. There are no stream crossings. Some manzanita and sharp rocks; I don't recommend shorts or no-show socks.
This little-known loop hike starts upstream of the Shevlin Park boundary. It includes:
- My favorite stretch of Tumalo Creek
- A decommissioned canal which was started in 1904
- A bit of the Mrazek Trail
- A short section of an old dirt bike trail
- A couple of miles on a forest road
We'll meet at the Aspen Hall side of Shevlin Park and car pool a few miles from there.
