It's another beautiful sunny day, so rather than go to the gym for a workout, we take the Jeep and hit the road. We travel north on I-5 to Roseburg and then head east on Hwy. 138.
This is known as the Land of Umpqua, and roughly follows the Umpqua River and its many tributaries. It is a National Scenic Byway.
Our first stop is the visitor center in Glide. Armed with a few more maps we turn off onto County Road 17 first coming to the Cavitt Covered Bridge followed shortly by Cavitt Falls with its beautiful swimming hole, then on to the Wolf Creek Falls and over the long curved bridge to hike the 1.2 miles to the falls.
Now back on Hwy 138 and over to Susan Creek Falls, and finally, Fall Creek Falls. We think the Susan Creek Falls to be the prettiest of the falls.
Having hiked in excess of 6 miles, we decide we met our quota of exercise for the day. Now well past 5 PM and having no lunch, we decide to let the Creekside Cafe do our cooking and enjoy dinner, and naturally, pie and ice cream.
