Description:

The hike up Olallie Mt is always a great hike. The trail follows a ridge through a portion of burned forest left by the 2018 Terwilliger Fire but eventually crosses a lush meadow with plenty of wildflowers before reaching the spectacular views from the summit. The trip to the trailhead does involve a 11 mile one-way drive on gravel road 1993.

Trip Report

The summit of Olallie Mt is still among the best viewpoint hikes in the Three Sisters Wilderness. From the now burned out lookout we were rewarded with a 360 degree unobstructed view of Diamond Peak to the south all the way to Mt Hood to the north plus a large expanse of mostly green forest to the west however the trail condition itself has deteriorated over the last couple of years to the point of being just plain terrible. We spent much of our hike wading through the dense vegetation that has overgrown the trail so much we often struggled to find the path at all and climbing over a large number of fallen trees. By the days end we all agreed that this once beautiful hike should now be avoided until after the completion of some much needed maintenance.
