Activity Notes

This hike is part of the Mazama 125th Anniversary celebration! This is the second of two hikes on the Mazama Trail on this day.

This is a fairly steep trail. We are starting at the Trailhead at 10 AM and will turn around when the trail meets up with the Timberline.

Rick Pope, who leads the Mazama stewardship of this trail, will be sharing the upper trail construction, annual maintenance, and the affect of the forest fires on the trail.

7.5 miles RT, 2120 FT elevation gain.
