Mount Pisgah Arboretum 

Planting Your Feet in the Extraordinary 

 

Pond Turtle Don Lown

From the top of Mt. Pisgah, one  

can gaze over the Willamette Valley with unbroken views that stretch over the nearby cities of Eugene and Springfield, with the Cascade Mountains behind you and the Pacific Ocean looming in the far distance. But below you, in the 209-acre arboretum itself, is where to plant your feet in the extraordinary. With seven miles of trails and 23 bridges to choose from, visitors can easily explore the gardens, riparian forests, river meadows, and wildlife habitat that the Mt. Pisgah Arboretum offers.

Ice Stick Trays
From Hydro Flask

Ice Tray Hydro Flask

 

I love to drink cold water, so I always carry a Hydro Flask  

with me wherever I go. Hydro Flasks are those super-cool water bottles that keep the hot, hot and the cold, cold and  

the temperature doesn't effect the outside of the bottle.

So I'm always shoving ice cubes from my freezer into my Hydro Flask. But now, Hydro Flask has come up with Ice  

Stick trays, so you can freeze water that will make cubes  

that fit easily into your water bottle.  READ MORE  

 

Hydro Flask GreenHydro Flask double-wall, vacuum insulated  

water bottles are made from food grade  

18/8 stainless steel, and are safe  

and 100% BPA-free.
