This trail leads to Eagle Rock in Deschutes National Forest. While the trail is well-maintained, be prepared for dusty sections and steep, rocky parts with switchbacksβsturdy footwear and hiking poles are recommended. Your effort will be rewarded with stunning views of the Three Sisters. Itβs a great place where the mountains meet the high desert.
Review on trail: "Relatively flat hike with the only elevation gain going over Eagle Pass. Just a series of switchbacks with an elevation gain of roughly 200β. The trail is open to cyclists (with multiple junctions off the main trail). Great hike thru the trees, partially shaded."
NORTHWEST PARK PASS NEEDED
NO DOGS PLEASE

RISK We are all adults and everyone needs to understand their own risk profile, especially in regards to COVID-19. In the same way as there are physical risks when hiking or kayaking, we now need to add the risk of virus infection, more so than in the past. It should go without saying there has always been a small risk of catching the flu, or food poisoning, or slipping on a trail and rolling an ankle or fracturing a hip while participating in Meetup Events. Now we have to add the increased risk of contracting (or passing along) COVID-19. Let's see if we can do a few events and follow community guidelines. Social Distancing. LOTS of hand washing. Plenty of social distancing, masks, sanitizers, common sense. We know there is mixed information and guidance regarding masks from CDC and other agencies - we will of course follow the local venue recommendations as to mask requirements. A mask will not 100% prevent transmission nor contracting COVID-19, but it does reduce the chances of spreading germs. Again - everyone will need to make their own decision on acceptable risks.
Anyone attending any posted event assumes all personal risk to themselves. If this makes you nervous, we understand & kindly ask you to stay away for now and hopefully we will see you in the future.
