Waldo Lake Oregon
This is a composite of time lapse videos taken at Waldo Lake, Oregon, in late August, 204. Waldo Lake is located in the high Oregon Cascade mountains at 5400 feet in the Willamette National Forest south of Oakridge on highway 58.
The lake is frequented by those who like canoes, kayaks, paddle boards and sail boats of every type thanks to the no-motor rule. Situated in the North-South corridor along the west coast, the skies are dark at night but streaked with an amazing number of airplanes taking travelers from here to there all without a thought for the beautiful dark skies they are traveling through.

Oakridge Residents Outraged at City's Financial Mistake
In July 2001, the Oakridge City Administrator announced the cuts needed to fix a budget he says he thought was in the black; turns out, it's deep in the red.

Tj B.'s Review on The Dyrt:
▶︎ Ranger review: Columbia Silver ridge lite LS hiking shirt
Campground review
Great hidden gem in the high elevations just behind Oakridge, Or. It's about 20 miles from Oakridge up a washboard gravel road. I suggest an awd/4x4, or a car that can handle the terrain. I have a 4x4 truck, but with bad tires, so I was fishtailing the whole way up, and down. Once you arrive, the campground opens to a gorgeous little alpine lake with a surrounding ridge.
It is a very small, very primitive campground with six sites, two all gender pit toilets, bear proof garbage can and water pump. At $8 a night though you can't go wrong. I do suggest however to have a backup plan, as it would be a bummer to find it full after driving so far out.
Three of the sites are park and walk in, with the others park at site style; all are first come. I was able to score a walk in site right on the lake! Each site does have a table and fire ring, and you can even find some mountain Huckleberries along the trail into the sites. My site was huge and all three sites had enough space for at least 3 tents and were decently spaced from each other.
If you do find it full, or while you are staying; take advantage of the nearby Blair lake trail before you leave. It is a 17 mile moderate-difficult trail that heads toward the Waldo lake wilderness, through a great meadow and and then forest above the lake. You can take it about 4 miles to the Mule mountain lookout if you prefer a shorter hike. I wasn't able to go to the lookout as the trail was in the process of being closed due to a nearby active fire. I was able to get to a good viewpoint of the lake and grounds below; with a little bushwacking. There is also an overgrown trail circumventing the lake, but I hear it also takes a little bushwacking to complete. The lake itself is warm and great for swimming and floating, and I even saw some fish jumping so I imagine you could do some catching as well.
A great place to just get away from the grind and city noise, where you feel like your out in the middle of nowhere. ...

Survive Waldo - Waldo Lake 100k
My good friend Wally sets a personal goal to complete the Waldo Lake 100k. This is a 62.5 mile trail run beginning and ending at the Willamette Pass ski area in the Cascade range of Oregon. The race is Western States 100 mile qualifier.
Wally completed his first marathon in April '18. Then his first 50k trail run in July '18. He followed that run with another 50k trail run in March '19, before making the leap to this 100k.
Thank you to the race organizers and all of the amazing volunteers that made this a truly incredible day!

Mountain Biking in Oregon's Cascade Mountains
The twisting, tacky single track that winds across the high desert and Cascade Mountain foothills near Bend, along the scenic McKenzie River Trail and through the old growth forests of Oakridge is some of the best mountain biking trail you’ll ride. Ever. Pump up your tires, tune your shocks and get ready to ride.
