Hawk Mountain was an easy 1 hour hike to a summit with great views of Mt Jefferson and further south. The trail is well maintaned and there were Huckleberries galore that may delay your QRV. Take forest road 46 (paved) to forest road 6350 and…

This is an update to K7ATN's blog entry. The road was easily passable all the way to the "summit"/rock outcropping. I drove a Kia Sportage with no issues, no gates, no tight spots. It appears as if someone in the last year has come…

Long Mountain has finally been activated! A 12 mile round trip for 1 point that costs $75 just to step foot past the logging road gate. A quiet hike with not a soul to disturb you while you take a long walk on the mostly exsposed logging roads. You…

Tower Mountain really does have a tower on it. The 92'-tall Aermotor steel lookout tower was built in 1935. It is still standing and accessible today. Your level of enjoyment with the activation will likely increase if you are able to use the tower…
