Cape Mountain Trails.
Join the Southcoast Striders for beautiful wooded trails and high meadows with views that go on for miles. They have put together a sampler of a wonderful 17 mile trail system that offers lots of options for hikers, mountain bikers and equestrians. Meet at 9:00am at N. end of Fred Meyer parking lot (4701 US-101, Florence) next to the gas station, then drive to Dry Lake trail head.
The long hike option will be 7 miles and will combine the Wapati Trail, Nelson Ridge Trail and Tasha trail. This hike is rated difficult.
They will lunch in the meadow at the site of an old lookout tower.
Hikers will have the option to shorten their hike to 3 miles by branching off on the Lookout Loop trail.
The short hike option will be 3 miles and is rated moderate overall, but you still have to make the climb up to the lookout.
Dress for the weather and bring plenty of water and something to eat. Hiking sticks will make the climbing easier.
You can see the full trail system map here.
