9 miles of hiking • 250' elevation gain •
I had two days in the high desert this week. Tuesday for hiking, and Wednesday for a volunteer gig with ONDA at Clarno. I started at the Starvation boat ramp, downstream from Cottonwood Canyon SP main entrance, but still part of the park.Dreamy walk up and down the river. Unfortunately a little corner of private land with a gate and no trespassing sign prevents you from walking all the way upstream to the Pinnacles trail. I did hear from an ONDA person that it may become public in the future!
Snagged a cabin reservation for the night-the cabins are clean and new with heat and electricity, and have lovely front porches. Had a pleasant evening walk downstream from the campground, return by headlamp. Stars fantastic.
