Well maintained single track trail. Steep climbing first mile followed by scenic rolling
terrain with a quick downhill. Trail crosses a fireroad a third of the way and continues
with more excellent single track riding. The trail can be ridden both ways to add to the
excitement of pure single track riding with several technical challenges.
How to get there:
From Eugene, take Highway 58 toward Oakridge. Just before mile post 21 turn right
into parking area marked by a Forest Service fire sign. Several rides begin at this
parking area.
Additional Notes:
The bottom portion of the trail can sometimes become overcrowded with hikers since

.Begin Quote ____________Good job keeping it slipme. I think the message was good and I agree with the grain weight comparison between Skagit and Scandi. I don't agree with including the polyleaders in the total grain weight you are trying to achieve when calculating the Scandi Compact head weight. You mentioned that the Skagit should be 30 grains more than the Scandi but that the total weight of the Scandi would include the polyleaders. Since a floating polyleaders doesn't anchor like a piece of level sink tip material like on a Skagit system you don't get the perceived weight contribution you would expect from the Polyleaders so I leave out the polyleaders in my grain weight calculations. Just something to think about. You mentioned that AFS and Scandi Compact are the same length but in fact AFS are about 5 to 6 feet longer than the Scandi compact which make a big difference when throwing shorter lines. They go up to 40.5 feet and the Scandi compact stop at 34 feet

You probably went up the Hardesty Trail that goes to the top of Hardesty Mtn. This can be done as a loop by going out the South Willamette Trail, then ride briefly east on HWY 58 to catch the Patterson Creek Road (gravel) that goes up and up to a junction a the ridgetop. The rough double track to the north leads to the Hardesty Trail and a screamin' downhill.

There are lots of trails at this trail head. I took the one that just went up. It was a blast though. I'll be going back for more soon.
