Sweet Home Nature and Heritage Tours

Guided hikes are no longer offered through this reservation system; contact the Sweet Home Ranger District to learn about recreation opportunities in the area. Come explore the beautiful Sweet Home Ranger District of the Willamette National Forest. Led by professionals, the Sweet Home Nature and Heritage Tours offer incredible opportunities to learn about the plants, animals, geology and cultural history of the Sweet Home area, located on the edges of the Willamette Valley and within the spectacular Cascade Mountains. The tours take you to out-of-the-way spots with a friendly group to explore, learn and have a wonderful time while coming to appreciate why the Sweet Home area is such a special place. Whether you're a budding naturalist or a long-time explorer of the Pacific Northwest, it will be an experience you will long remember. Pre-registration is required for all tours and they fill up quickly. All hikes and tours meet at the Sweet Home Ranger District Office and travel to the forest where the hike begins. A restroom is available at the office, as well as maps and other small souvenirs. Sweet Home is a full service community with restaurants, cafes and gas stations.
