Mountaintop views that reach from the Pacific Ocean to Mt. Hood await you on this steep climb to the top of a double-peaked summit of basalt. The upper part of the mountain is decorated with vast steep wildflower meadows in summer. More details on Oregon Hikers.

  • Optional: Fun, food & fellowship on the way home at a local eatery as determined by the group (car share divided by who wishes to participate and who wishes to get home ASAP).
