Saturday ten Friends of the Umpqua headed towards
Cottage Grove and Dorena Lake. Twenty plus miles
further we dropped a vehicle at the lower
trailhead of Brice Creek for our shuttle. We began
our hike at the upper trailhead with three of the
group heading to Upper Trestle Falls. Seven of us
did the trail to Lower Trestle and we all met
together on the Brice Creek Trail for lunch. We
were surprised and glad for the filtered sun shine
since rain had been predicted. The lower hike
including Lower Trestle Falls was 5.5 miles and
the Upper Trestle hike turned out to be 6.7
miles. As we were leaving the rain did arrive.
Lucky us.
