We joined Dad for a quick hike up Mt. Pisgah in Eugene.

Ferny!

We usually hike Spencer Butte, but I had never hiked Pisgah, so we came here for a change.

The hike is a combination of forest and wide-open meadows.

There is a monument to Jed Kesey, son of author Ken Kesey, at the summit. It’s a bronze stump with a topographic map of surrounding mountains and gaps for the solstices.

There was lush vegetation and more than a little poison oak.

Please be serious.

The trail has lush vegetation and more than a little poison oak.
