Three Elders Route

From the Chehalem Ridge Nature Park parking area, you'll first head out on the Woodland trail, following it until you reach the Ammefu Trail, which you take for a short side diversion to visit the first statue. Continuing on, you rejoin with the Woodland Trail and continue on it until you reach the Ayeekwa trail and get on that. This trail also takes you on a little diversion to a more natural forest setting compared to the human planted tree areas. Soon, this meets up with the Witches Butter trail, which we turn right onto and follow for a while, passing a junction with the Chehalem ridge trail, and continuing on to the Mampat Trail which takes you to the top of Iowa Hill. After circling around Iowa Hill and starting to head back, we also take a little loop on the Zorzal Trail near the hilltop before getting back to the Mampat trail until we hit the Timber Road. For this route, we just follow Timber road for a little bit until it reaches the Woodland trail. We then get on that and follow it most of the way back to the beginning, but hop on the short Castor trail near the end to bring it home.

The area around this park at one time contained villages of the indigenous Atfalati people.
