Beautiful trilliums are absolutely everywhere, along with every other beautiful flower you can think of. There is a abundance of peaceful places to sit and think, including many catholic sculptures and little cutesy ponds. When I went it was almost empty, I ran into very few people in the upper garden. The admission price is low and I think the price is well worth seeing these upper gardens, as the whole grounds are well maintained and manicured to perfection. The lower trail and grotto are also beautiful and serene, and the little chapel always has it's doors open if you wish to venture in.

There are few places that allow horseback riding close to populated areas. OSU has made this beautiful area available for multiple use and we are incredibly grateful.

Camassia has evolved and gained accessibility over the past two decades to offer a distinct trailhead and orientation to the special meadows preserved here. At peak bloom, you can expect to see carpets of color of camas and rosy plectritis ranging throughout the oak savannah restored on this bluff above West Linn. At this time of year, Nature Conservancy volunteers populate the area to offer insights and answer questions about the flora and fauna found here. It’s a great short loop for families and fairly easy walking for those with independent mobility. Birders are likely to ID dozens of species in a single visit! Stay on trail to avoid misfortune with native poison oak.
