Salmon Butte

Activity Notes

The Salmon Butte Trail is in the Huckleberry Wilderness area near Mt. Hood. It's 12.2 miles and almost 3500 feet of elevation gain. We will take it at a very moderate pace of 1.5 to 2 mph.  Here is the trail preview: https://www.alltrails.com/explore/trail/us/oregon/salmon-butte-trail?mobileMap=false&initFlyover=true&flyoverReturnToTrail The meeting place will be at the Columbia Gorge Outlets, in front of Starbucks at 730 AM on Saturday.

The trail report of June 7 did not mention snow, but there was snow at Mt. Hood area last weekend, so we will want to be prepared. Plan on a full day!
