A sign on a board near the entrance to the parking lot was titled, "Things to do on the Cottage Grove Ranger District." One sign offered old fire watch towers for rent, another sign advised you to, "Please pack it out."

The parking lot was made of gravel compacted into dirt. This shot was taken from one of the trail heads, looking back at the entrance with the road just beyond that.

Denver (left) and Brandon (right) made their way out one trail. This early part was level and easy to walk and paralleled the creek.

Brice Creek, near the parking lot, was extremely rocky. This shot was taken looking back at the road that crossed the creek over a bridge.

A shot taken looking away from the bridge, and deeper into the forest. Brice Creek was scenic and, although not easy to walk, it was paralleled by an easy trail.

Oregon was experiencing an unusually dry and hotter than normal summer. As a consequence, campfires were prohibited inside all forests: national, state and county.
