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

***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!
