Lookout Mountain/Palisade Point/Flag Point

Activity Notes

A fun hike east of Mt. Hood, this trail features a triple summit, spectacular wildflowers, a restroom at the end, and a lot of fun! I hope we get to go up the lookout tower at Flag Point (they've let me up in the past). To summit Palisade Point, there is a 10 foot scramble. We will go at a moderate pace. We will carpool from the MMC at 7:00 AM. Suggested carpool donation is $16/passenger. If you plan to drive yourself, please meet us at High Prairie TH at 8:45 AM. A Northwest Forest Pass is required. 12 miles, 2400' gain 6500' at summit of Lookout Mountain 5800' at summit of Palisade Point 5600' at summit of Flag Point 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 be on historically Warm Springs land. I encourage you to read and learn more!
