This section of the trail spans 7.8 miles (12.55 kilometers) and is part of the Swiftwater-Tioga segment that runs a total of 15.8 miles (25.43 kilometers) of the North Umpqua Trail. It is a relatively moderate hike through burn scar from the Archie fire in 2020, but it is recovering nicely. The route has little elevation change, with the exception of a slightly challenging climb over a hillside at the 4-mile mark (6.5 km) as you pass Bobs Butte. Along the way, plenty of plant life emerges from the forest floor as the landscape heals from the fire damage. Lots of wildflowers add a splash of color, and you'll also find plenty of blackberries and raspberries, perfect for a morning snack as you head down the trail.
