Activity Notes
We will hike up the Starvation Ridge Trail, have lunch somewhere near Warren Lake or the (relatively) flatter terrain nearby, and hike down the Mt. Defiance Trail back to our cars at Starvation Creek State Park. Wildflowers and waterfalls should be in the picture, and we can check out how the forest is recovering from the Eagle Creek fire on the way down. We will not summit Mt. Defiance, but will just complete the loop. The hike is described here: https://www.oregonhikers.org/field_guide/Defiance-Starvation_Loop_Hike| Other Information | |
