Description:

This is the first of 10 hikes I'm planning for the month of July to get into shape for the rest of the summer. I'll start this hike from road 1993 on what's called Saddle Mountain trail 3326 which switchbacks up 1575 feet in 2.2 miles to the standard Horsepasture trail. This is a great workout hike to great views from the summit.

 Participants will manage their own transportation. Obsidian protocols for social distancing will be observed on the hike. Refer to main website page for information.

Trip Report

This is a hike that has a lot to offer in it's only 3.5 miles from Saddle Trail 3326 to the summit of Horsepasture Mt. The first 2.2 miles to the Olallie Ridge trail gains 1600 feet of elevation for a great getting-in-shape workout. We then got into the meadows below the summit which were heavily draped in wildflowers including large stands of blooming bear grass, lupine, and paintbrush. On the final approach to the summit we were rewarded with great views of the cascades. Everyone enjoyed the summit so much we spent an entire hour there before descending the trail to our vehicles. After our hike six of us got together at Takodas Restaurant in Rainbow to top off our rather enjoyable day.
