Summit: W7O/CC-061
Submitted by NS7P on
The third of four Elkton area summits that we went after was Bell Mountain, W7O/CC-061. We tried two routes. One was based on Google Maps directions, and the other was finding a route on the USGS topo map. The “Google” (Brush Creek Road) acted…

This was the last of four Elkton, OR area summits that we explored on May 21, 2017. With a name like that, we were a bit apprehensive, but we set off along a route I traced on a topo map. It starts by turning off of Highway 38 onto Wetherly Creek Rd…

I was staying at The Lodge in Castle Rock State Park for a long weekend. This park is just north of City Of Rocks National Reserve which is a world class rock climbing destination. Though I am not a rock climber there are also a whole bunch of nice…

Pickett Butte is a two point summit east of Canyonville in southern Oregon. This 3296' peak has a lookout cabin on top of a 40' tower. The cabin is rented when not in fire lookout service. It was occupied on the June day we hiked up. The…

Powell Buttes HP is an RF intensive summit between Redmond and Prineville, OR. I believe that it is a VOR site in addition to the other typical radio equipment. It is clearly marked as off limits. Give this one a pass.

EDIT to add a reminder: Although this is a very pleasant, nearly urban summit, it's on private forest company land, and their policy only allows access on weekends and holidays from sunrise to sunset, or weekdays after 4pm to sunset. Agree…

Summary - If the gate is locked (and it probably is), this is a two mile logging road hike and summit hill bushwhack with modest elevation gain. On a clear day there are views from the north end of the summit. The bushwhack is…

DJ (WW7D) and I (WU7H) saved this one for our 2025/2026 UTC rollover activation. We have done Keechelus in the winter before and it is usually a very reliable winter summit -- there is a groomed snowmobile trail that gets you close enough to the…

Heads up… on Jan 10, 2026 when driving from W7O/NC-091 to NC-083 (as noted in the prior descriptions) I came across a slide located along the southeast side of the mountain - very close to the final turn up to the NC-083 summit. I had to…
