Description:

This is an exploratory trip as I haven't actually been to the summit of Cowhorn Mt but I've always wanted to. We'll take the route from Timpanogas Lake as described in Sullivan's latest Central Cascades book except I plan on going in a clockwise direction. A stop for swimming in one of the lakes is a possibility so bring water shoes. After the hike the more hungry of our group will stop in either Oakridge or Pleasant Hill for dinner. This will be an all day trip so plan on getting home late.

Trip Report

With 4 hours of driving time, 12 miles of hiking, and 3000 feet of elevation gain, a hike up Cowhorn Mt is an all day trip but it's a worthwhile adventure. We spent our day hiking through a pristine unburned forest with almost no other people on the trail. The views from the summit of Cowhorn Mt are, I'm sure, impressive however for this day they were shrouded in smoke making even nearby Diamond Peak barely visible. We stopped at Indigo Lake for a very refreshing swim before finishing our hike at Timpanogas Lake.
