Trip Report

Followed by steady light rain, we hiked Dead Mountain Trail # 3566, only occasionally interrupted by swarms of mountain bikers rushing down the steep trail. Switchback trail is framed by a variety of wildflowers, dogwood and fragrant conifers.
We reached the top at noon:30 when the sun shined on Oakridge below us, and on the nearby mountains.
After a total of 11.3 miles with a serious elevation change, our enduring group returned to the sun bathed trailhead at 3:30 p.m.
