My name is Antonio Morales and I am going into my senior year at the University of Oregon. During My three years, I have been able to explore a lot of Eugene and have been able to find a place where I can relax and be with myself in nature. This place is better known as Mt. Pisgah.
You can find Mt. Pisgah twenty minutes SE of Eugene. It has been very convenient as it is close to my apartment in Eugene.
Looking at this map, I usually take the east trailhead towards the summit. Unfortunately, I recently got a ticket at the parking lot because I did not realize you had to have a permit to park. So if anyone does want to go, I recommend getting a permit so you do not end up in my position.
Finally, the reason I like this trail so much is not just its convenience to Eugene but because it is so peaceful. Especially if you take the east trailhead there are never any other hikers. So if you are looking for a quiet hike, I recommend the East trailhead at Mt. Pisgah. The birds are always chirping, and the air is always crisp at the summit!
