North Fork Trail – Oakridge Oregon.  Not far from the mountain communities of Westfir and Oakridge, autumn colors adorn the footpath along the North Fork of the Middle Fork Willamette River. At the end of a long summer drought, this young forest of Doug-fir and Vine Maple, patiently awaits the first moisture of winter and a desperately needed rainy season.
