Description
The observation deck on the Woodpecker Loop Hike has colorful interpretive signs that explain local fauna and flora. The platform is built under a splendid old oak. Take time here to scan the foliage for small birds and, yes, there are several species of woodpecker that haunt these woods. On a nice day, there are expansive views east across the Willamette Valley to the central Cascades, dominated by Mount Jefferson and the Three Sisters.
