Hiking Pine Bench | Boulder Creek Wilderness, Umpqua National Forest

<p>Hello, Curtis here and I’d like to welcome you to Hiking in Depth, &nbsp;where I share interesting bits about the flora, fauna, geology and history you encounter on the trail. In this episode we are in Southern Oregon and will be heading to Pine Bench, an anomaly of the Western Cascades in the Boulder Creek Wilderness of the Umpqua National Forest. Cliffside springs, fire charred landscapes, old pioneer tales and hiking hazards may pique your interest on this unassuming hike.</p> <p><a href="https://youtu.be/RQQ1hzsopYA" target="_blank"><u>Video of this Hike</u></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.hikingindepth.com/2020/07/pine-bench-via-bradley-trail.html" target="_blank"><u>This hike on my website</u></a></p> <p><a href="https://instagram.com/hikingindepth" target="_blank"><u>Follow me on Instagram</u></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.hikingindepth.com/" target="_blank"><u>Visit my website</u></a></p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>Sources</strong></p> <p><a href="https://www.powells.com/book/tracking-down-oregon-9780870042577" target="_blank"><u>Tracking Down Oregon</u></a> by Ralph Friedman</p> <p><a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&amp;rct=j&amp;q=&amp;esrc=s&amp;source=web&amp;cd=&amp;ved=2ahUKEwjGuM3chrTzAhU2JzQIHc-4Da4QFnoECAgQAQ&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fdigital.sou.edu%2Fdigital%2Fapi%2Fcollection%2Fp16085coll23%2Fid%2F25732%2Fdownload&amp;usg=AOvVaw0guXReIivARqIWMblfuSBN" target="_blank">Reminiscences of Southern Oregon Pioneers: Roy McDonald Foster</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.powells.com/book/oregons-wilderness-areas-the-complete-guide-9781565794344" target="_blank">Oregon's Wilderness Areas The Complete Guide</a> by George Wuerthner</p> <p><a href="https://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/umpqua/recreation/recarea/?recid=63374" target="_blank">United States Forest Service</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.oregonhikers.org/" target="_blank">Oregonhikers.org</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.powells.com/book/best-old-growth-forest-hikes-washington-9780898868395" target="_blank">Best Old-Growth Forest Hikes Washington &amp; Oregon Cascades</a> by John &amp; Diane Cissel</p> <p><a href="https://www.powells.com/book/exploring-oregons-wild-areas-a-guide-for-hikers-backpackers-climbers-cross-country-skiers-paddlers-9780898867930" target="_blank">Exploring Oregon’s Wild Areas</a> by William L.
