Trip Report

Today we hiked Dead Mountain, northeast of Oakridge, originally known as Green Mountain (before the forest fires of 1883, 1898, and 1910). Our brisk 12.4-mile, 2,820-foot ascent, Flat Creek Trail #3566, was pure joy. It was 36°F at the 3,636 ft where we enjoyed windless lunch time view.
