Chugging up the first hill on the South Willamette Trail.
Nancy and I went out for a short ride on the South Willamette Trail, which parallels Lookout Point Reservoir a few miles east of Dexter.
The trailhead accesses several trails, including the Hardesty Mt. trail and Eula Creek trail, both 3,300' downhills, and a 2,000' downhill from Eagles Rest to Goodman Creek. All of these rides can be shuttled.
Oregon trails are lush and green, even in the middle of August.
The trail is typical of Oregon—a zillion turns, solid dirt, and overgrown with ferns, Oregon grape and occasional blackberries.
We only rode a few miles because it was such a hot day, and then took a dip in Dexter Reservoir, which—surprisingly—is colder than anything in Tahoe.
