Summit: W7O/WV-062

Let's start by making sure we are talking about Oregon's Larch Mountain and not one of the two Larch Mountains in Washington, and not the one in Idaho either. In late winter we hiked from the parking lot of Multnomah Falls to the summit, 14.4…

For anyone heading up to Mount Hood or headed from Portland into Central Oregon, Clear Lake Butte would be a nice stop on the way. It's a well graded and mostly paved forest road, suitable for biking or bringing along those that aren't big hikers.…

There are two Bunchgrass Ridges - this one is labeled as such in SOTA, but not on most public maps. The other one, CM-126, is labeled Bunchgrass Ridge on most maps, but SOTA does not give that one a name. Perhaps this will need to be inverted in the…

I activated these two peaks, NC116 and 118, during summer 2021. At the time, Weyerhaeuser had recently taken ownership of the parcel, and marked the area as open to public walk-in access. Unfortunately, Weyerhaeuser has now moved this land…

Since we cannot access the private driveway, I recommend this short hike up from the Nordic Trail sign. More pleasant than from the driveway side of brush and finishes at wide open access on BLM. A short patch of bush and boulders to step up at the…

This summit sits on CSKT tribal land and requires a permit for non-tribal members ($100 for one year at the time of writing), which makes access the main consideration rather than the hike itself. I chose this one specifically as my first activation…
