Description:

This year will be the 92nd anniversary of the placing of a brass plaque on Macduff Mt to honor Nelson Macduff, a former forest service supervisor and Obsidian member. I'll be hiking to the summit from road 411, a steep rough road not suitable for low clearance vehicles. The trail is a well engineered route up a steep ridge through a well shaded forest with some great wildflowers and rhododendrons. From the summit we'll hopefully have a clear view of the Cascades and the McKenzie River Valley. Some of our group may stop at Takoda's after the hike.

Trip Report

Our annual hike up Macduff Mt has encountered a variety of weather over the years from cold wet days with no views to temperatures over 110 degrees (I canceled the hike that year.) This years hike had comfortable temperatures and clear skies giving us some great views of the Cascades and the McKenzie Valley. This trail is almost completely shaded making it a great hike for a sunny warm day. We followed up our hike with a cold drink and delicious meal at Takoda's restaurant.
