BY JAYSON JACOBY
A s we ni‘ur the opening of

of tnuny outdoor enlhusi

fi.ii krountry lakes teeming with
trout
The (.Ordon Lukes, a pair of
small pools surrounded hy
thit k old-growth Douglas fir
forest east of Sweet Home, are a
good destination the l.lkes
the lower lake lining slightly
larger than the upper at about

But as attractive as tli.il short
trip may Is-, for those just as in
teresled 111 hiking, the seVfll
rnlle tr.nl up Lulls (.reek offers
a lot more si eiiers A warning
Hi- prepared to gel your Icet wet
on this trip
To get to U)i' trumieau at

heading off to the right
The trail winds uphill for the

l lie trail ascends the slope in
thro long traverses w ith gentle
grades Just before re-entering
the forest and crossing u road at
I hr one milt- point, then- is .I
view east to Mount Jefferson
For the next two miles the
trail winds near the bubbling
creek on .1 mostly level grade
with .1 few uphill stretches I tie
trail crosses another road at

Just before < timing to the first
trail junction, the tr.nl skirts a
small, marshy meadow on the

From the junction the trail is
a wide, sometimes almost road
like path almost entirely under

past the meadows The easiest
wav is to jump the creek's two
narrow channels on the right
side of the trail at an opening to

The trail crosses a narrow
ridge about .1 mile before the
lakes, before dropping down
rather steeply through an occa

the western shore of the lower
lake The best camping spots
are lit this point
The upper lake is just a hun
