Small trailhead leading to Cardwell Hill ridge with sweeping Willamette Valley and Coast Range views. Photograph rolling pastures, oak savanna, seasonal wildflowers and dramatic sunsets; spring brings blooms, fall offers clear air and golden light. Easy roadside parking, no fee; moderate hikes gain ridge viewpoints. Best at golden hour; expect muddy trails after rain and limited facilities.
