Difficulty: Moderate
Distance: 3 miles total
Elevation Gain: 300-500 feet
Leader: Chandra LeGue (Oregon Wild’s Senior Conservation Advocate)
Location: Willamette National Forest, near Willamette Pass
Trek from the Gold Lake Sno-Park to the Westview Shelter, climb through a beautiful snowy forest, and take in wide views of Odell Lake and the landscape near Willamette Pass. This fairly short snowshoe hike gains a little elevation but is doable for most skill levels. Along the way we’ll talk about the proposed Northwest Forest Plan amendment and how you can weigh in and advocate for the public lands you care about.
Carpools will be available from Eugene.
The goal of Oregon Wild’s outdoor program is to connect our supporters to the places we work to protect and conserve. Our guided hikes and outings are led by staff members with experience in our conservation campaigns, knowledge about the natural world, and a passion for Oregon’s wild places and wildlife. Our programs offer an educational experience and a connection to advocacy for the places we visit. We strive to make our outdoor programs inviting and safe for everyone.
