South Willamette Trail #3465

I attempted this hike beginning from the Eula Ridge junction on April 27, 2019. This trail is not passable at all in its current state. There is massive forest destruction from the winter storm of February 2019. After scrambling over and under downed trees and other forest debris every ten to twenty feet and losing and finding the trail multiple times, we eventually completely lost the trail about 1.5 miles in. This trail is frankly destroyed in its current state. There is no signage at the Eula Ridge or Hardesty trailheads indicating the the trail is not passable. It should not be open to the public for any purpose until extensive work is done to repair it. Apr 28, 2019
