Take a hike: a guide to Eugene’s smaller trails

As winter term settles in and you’re left stranded without something to do, now is the perfect time to go for a hike. Take a break from studying to enjoy the cool weather and colors on three nearby hikes.

Remember to pack for the stay, not the hike — bring layers, a first aid kit, extra food and water and other essentials. Be sure to tell a friend where you are going and when you’ll be back, check the weather and have fun!
