Archer Mountain Loop

Activity Notes

This hike covers about 4.5 miles and 1700 feet of elevation gain. After a short downhill start, the trail climbs steeply (approx 1000 ft over a mile) on rocky switchbacks. Hikers will have the option to venture out onto Quiver Point and Arrow Point for stunning views of the gorge. Both are narrow with steep drop-offs on both sides. Participants who wish to hike out to these vistas should be comfortable with exposure.

We'll carpool from the MMC departing at 2:00 PM or you can meet us at the High Valley Trailhead at 2:45 PM.

While this is an A-level hike, hikers should be prepared for some difficult terrain and be prepared to move at a 2+ mph pace uphill. If you do not have Mazamas activity history, please fill in your profile with details about your hiking experience before registering.
