Details: We were all set to hike the Union Creek Trail but alas, there still is plenty of snow in that area. So, we have changed the destination to a place which is guaranteed to have no snow at all: South Slough. Located near Coos Bay, the South Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve (that's the proper name!) provides a healthy dose of green forest and slough scenery.Map: https://www.mapmyrun.com/routes/view/3716349349
Driving time: 2 hours
Driving directions: https://goo.gl/maps/XDBvEmdc4JbMbT9G7
Entry or parking fee: none
Hiking route: Starting from the Reserve's visitor center, we will hike down to South Slough and return by way of Hidden Creek
Difficulty level: Moderate
Distance: 4.3 miles
Elevation gain: 300 feet
Pluses: The hike is not overly long and spends plenty of quality time in a lush green coastal forest. The scenery down by the slough itself is impressive.
Minuses: What hikes down to the slough must return by hiking up from the Slough.
