Overview: This is a short route that is perfect for a short walk (can be a romantic one too!). It is also a great place to take your dog for some exercise and maybe to chace some deer. At the top is a truly spectacular tree and you will have some views back over Corvallis. It doesn't have the great views that Dimple Hill has (see my other guide) but it's a good stroll if you don't have much time.

Tips: Directions to Chip Ross Park:
Follow 99 north out of town and turn left onto Walnut blvd headed west. Take a right onto Highland and drive about a quarter mile until you see Lester Ave on the left. Take that left and continue to the end of the road to the parking area. Parking is free.

Chip Ross Parking Lot

Free to park here. It doesn't matter which way you start out on the loop but I prefer to head north to the right and up from the parking lot.

Junction

If you head down from here you'll cut the loop in half. Keep going straight along the edge of the woods to the right.

Another Junction

Another junction to cut the loop short. Ignore this and continue on. The trail will split into two different trails not far from each other. Choose either as it they both will bring you to the trail back and are within shouting distance of each other the whole way.

Main Trail Back

When you get to this junction take a left and head back on this wider road back to the parking lot. You'll pass by several trails coming in from your left. Those are the the trails from the junctions you passed by.

Nice Tree

A very cool tree with a lot of moss on it here and great views over Corvallis. Can you spot the OSU footbal stadium?
