Bunchgrass Trailhead - Lower the Forest Service's write-up
This trailhead provides access to the Eugene to Crest Trail #3559
Formerly labeled Trail #1575, the Bunchgrass Ridge Trail is now part of the Eugene to Crest Trail #3559 . This 25 mile ridgeline trail connects Oakridge to Waldo Lake, but a smaller section can be done between the Bunchgrass Ridge upper and lower trailheads. This segment is a high elevation ridgeline trail that follows the edge of the 1991 Warner Creek burn with views of bunchgrass meadows, Cascade peaks, and wildflowers.
The lines are the US Forest Service's National Forest System trails layer (public domain), read 2026-10-16 and simplified for the map; the length is the line's, end to end, and the class, surface, grade and tread width are the forest's own entries where it publishes them - a forest that publishes the centreline alone has none. The trailheads and the points along the way are the Service's recreation points, and the write-ups its own recarea text, unedited. Heights come from USGS 3DEP through Terrain Tiles on AWS (Mapzen/Tilezen), read along each line and rounded; a short trail on steep ground can be off by a few tens of feet. Closures change: check the forest's own site before you go.
