Saltzman Road Section of Wildwood Trial - A little over 5 miles
You can hook up to the Wildwood Trail at about mile 12 from Saltzman Road. Turn onto Saltzman Road from Skyline Blvd. Drive approximately 1/4mile to a gate. Walk through the gate that is more toward the right (Not Fire lane 5). You will begin hiking down an old road for approximately 1 mile before coming to where the Wildwood Trail intersects the road. We took the trail to the right. This took us up hill to the treeline. It was a beautiful area to hike on a rainy day. As the wind blew we could hear water dripping from leaf to leaf in the trees. It was very quiet and peaceful on this day. We only crossed paths with a couple of other people during our hike..
On Saturday we had been to a talk sponsored by Oregon Humanities at Cooper Mtn. Park. Matt McCormick (an independent film maker) spoke about photographing the beauty in nature. He talked about looking down, under things, and getting a perspective that is different that what you normally would see. My hiking partner, Ken, and I had fun snapping pictures on the trail. Below are a few of the beautiful things we found by changing our perspective.
