Activity Notes

From wta.org: "The trail to Big Huckleberry Mountain passes some of the best wildflower shows in the Gorge, and takes visitors to two former fire lookout sites, which means you'll get a workout and views for miles. It's a wonderful way to spend a day, provided you're OK with a rough road approach."

I have not done this hike before which in Mazamas' parlance makes it an "exploratory" hike. It covers almost 12 miles and 3000 feet of elevation gain.

Given the length of the drive (about 1 hour and 45 minutes from the MMC) and the number of miles to hike, we'll get an early start and carpool from the MMC at 6:30 am.
