Mountaintop views that reach from the Pacific Ocean to Mt. Hood await you on this steep climb to the top of a double-peaked summit of basalt. The upper part of the mountain is decorated with vast steep wildflower meadows in summer. More details on Oregon Hikers.

Activity Notes

Fun hike in the coast range, possibly with wildflowers and views of the ocean! There are a couple of steep parts. Poles recommended. Please bring at least 2L of water. We'll go at a slow-moderate pace. We will meet at the Sunset Transit Center (accessible by TriMet Bus 20, 48, 59, 62 and MAX Blue and Red lines) at 7:00A.M. for carpooling. Recommended gas contribution is $13/passenger. If you choose to drive to the trailhead, please be there by 8:20A.M. The plan is to have a "slow" and "fast" group, which will leave from the trailhead 5-10 minutes apart so that we don't crowd the trail. 5.5 miles, 1900' gain, 3200' at summit Please email me with any questions! ***Minorities tend to experience higher amounts of stress. There's also lots of evidence that spending time outside in nature and socially engaging outside of work can reduce stress levels. Therefore, I highly encourage and welcome race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, economic, religious, and all other minorities to join me on my hikes! ***This hike will take place on historically Chinook lands. If you would like to help this tribe be federally recognized, they have an active petition!
