Geocache Description:




Hobbit Trail

A stroll down the hobbit trail will bring out the kid in anyone.  This mystical grove, lit green, brings to mind fairies and sprites.  Was that a troll or the rootwad of a rotting spruce?  Follow it down to a secluded beach.  Shoes not required, but watch out for knobby spruce stems.  The trail connects to many others, including Carl G. Washburne State Park and China Creek Trail.

 


The Eugene, Cascades & Coast GeoTour stretches from Florence on the Oregon Coast to the scenic McKenzie River and Cascade Mountains. Explore stunning waterfalls, lush trails, epic dunes, lava fields, serene lakes, breathtaking views and iconic sites. Discover your new favorite spot in Oregon!
