This gate in the entrance to the Sugar Bowl Creek segment along the Corvallis-to-the-Sea Trail. The paved road is closed to cars, but open to cyclists, so make sure to keep an eye out for bikes as you are hiking the road.

Philomath is a charming town at the base of the Coast Range. It is one of two towns along the Corvallis-to-the-Coast Trail, and it's a good place for a break during your hike as it has several restaurants and cafés.

Brian Booth State Park has two main areas: Ona Beach and Beaver Creek State Natural Area. Here, you can explore miles of trails, fish, birdwatch, and if you're brave enough to jump into the freezing Pacific, it's a nice place for a swim! This park is a great alternative to the beaches along the coast. It's located between Seal Rock and Newport.

The Siuslaw National Forest stretches from coastal mountain forests to the expansive Oregon Dunes and the wild Pacific coastline. It's home to a wide variety of plant species, including towering Douglas fir, western hemlock, and Sitka spruce.

At this juncture, the trail splits. If you are coming from Harlan, stay straight to head to Big Elk Campground. The route to the coast turns left onto Grant Creek Road. If you are coming from Grant Creek Road, make a right to head toward Harlan and continue on the C2C Trail. Make a left and go about 0.5 miles to reach Big Elk Campground.

This gate gives way to the Sugar Bowl Creek Segment. Continue on the road for just over a mile as it eventually veers left. As you descend, you will reach the bottom, where the trail meets an old roadbed. This segment is closed to bicycles from October 16 through May 15 and there is no alternate route.

As you continue along the upper part of forest service road, you’ll pass a gate and a sign directing you to the C2C trail. If you started from Corvallis follow the signs and turn left onto the North Ridge Extension Trail. The North Ridge Extension Trail is closed to bicycles from October 16 through May 15. Woods Creek Road runs parallel and remains open all year round, so if you prefer this route, continue straight and make a left. If you are coming from the North Ridge Extension Trail, you can make a right here to head toward Old Peak Road.

If you have the energy, take a detour off the road and head up for some great views of the Coast Range. The path is a bit of a climb, but it's short, and the views will pay you back! It's a nice place for a rest.
