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.

Activity Notes

Early June is a great time to visit Saddle mt.  The wildflowers should be at their peak. and if Weather is good we should have views from the cascades to Astoria and the ocean.

Pace will be very moderate - we will be in no rush.  The Trail is steep in places but generally well graded.  Trekking poles are nice is spots.

Expect about 2 hours up and another 2 down. We will have a long lunch on the summit.

Meet at  the SW 185th target parking lot  in Hillsboro at 9AM.  Park near to the adjacent Starbucks coffee shop on the west end.  Those who have their vaccinations can carpool;  those who do not will have to drive alone.
