Oregon hiking trails - Volcano Trail, Central Cascade Range, Linn County

   
  I've seen the Volcano Trail on old maps but I didn't know it still existed. Part of it has been bypassed by logging roads. I believe it went to the old blowout shelter and the suspension bridge that is still there. Says J. D. Adams
