Description:
Please indicate if you can drive. We will need 2 or 3 cars. It is a two hour drive - Highway 22, past Santiam Y junction- 12.7 miles, and then left on Straight Creek Rd for 4.1 miles, gravel Rd 1168 for 3.8 miles, Rd 450 with immediate Coffin Mt. Lookout trailhead. It is 1.5 miles with elevation of 1020 ft. up to the lookout with beautiful views of mountains. Plan on a snack. Back at the trailhead, we will drive up Rd 1168 for .7 miles, park our cars, and walk 2 miles up to Bachelor Mountain, 1115 ft. We will have lunch at the top where we will can look down into the Coffin and have even better views of Mt. Jefferson. Both of these are ridge hikes with continuous views of fall color and mountains. If rain predicted, I’ll substitute another destination Update: We will meet the three out of town hikers where we turn from Highway 22 onto Straight Creek Rd.
