Students Study Geology and Cultural History along the Oregon Timber Trail

Students Study Geology and Cultural History along the Oregon Timber Trail

The 7th & 8th grade students at Springwater Environmental Sciences School have spent the last month learning about the four tiers and ten segments of Oregon Timber Trail and researching the geology and cultural history along its length.

We heard from several students that the hardest part was just choosing which story to focus on.

Waucoma Backcountry is a high ridgeline on the northeast shoulder of Mount Hood adjacent to the Mark O. Hatfield Wilderness. It offers splendid views of the mountain and Columbia River Gorge, as well as peaceful alpine lakes and wildflower meadows.
