Solar panels installed and ready to test out, we left Eugene and headed east on Oregon Highway 126 to Delta Campground. Delta Campground is 4 miles east of Blue River and just
off the Aufderheide National Forest Scenic
Byway (a.k.a. Forest Road 19).
After
setting up camp we hiked the Delta Old Growth Grove Nature Trail located right
in the campground. The grove contains
many 500 – 650 year old Douglas Fir, Western Red Cedar and Western Hemlock
trees towering 160+ feet over the trail.
The half mile long, fern lined trail crosses Delta creek and its
tributaries several times. Many of these
giant trees are also in the campground.
