Views from Touvelle State Park

We made a short trip to TouVelle State Park recently and took some pictures of the Autumn landscape at the State Park.  Thought we would post of few for your viewing pleasure.  Enjoy.

Rogue RIver Trail @ Lost Creek Lake


 September 27,  2020

Over the last couple of months our hikes have consisted of shorter and more local hikes mainly due to the heat, smoke from fires, and some family issues.  Now that Autumn has arrived, we are hoping that those issues will fade like the leaves on the trees and we can get out to some new and old hikes that we enjoy.

Time for some Autumn hiking!

Some unique Autumn color

So today we made a couple of stops and then arrived at the Rogue River TH at the Takelma Boat Launch area of Lost Creek Lake.  Even though it was mid-morning by the time we started, we still trekked out a ways past the Lost Creek TH for a total hike of 10.2 miles.

 

Looking across an inlet at where we would be in an hour or so.


One of the 10 bridges we crossed

We enjoyed the views of Lost Creek Lake (levels are very low), the smell of the woods, and especially the shady parts of the trail as we crossed 10 bridges - no water under the bridge at this time of year.

A little note along the trail.

One last look at Lost Creek Lake

After a nice quiet break at our turnaround spot, we  trekked back to our car and even saw a few colors of Autumn.  Hopefully cooler weather and some rain will come soon so that those Autumn colors will become even more common and beautiful.
