Trip Report

Mt. McLoughlin is the highest peak in Southern Oregon and an accessible nine thousand foot mountain, with a trail to the top. But with 3915 feet of elevation and significant rock scrambling, it is definitely more a climb than a hike. It would be much more popular with Obsidians if it were not so far away. We left Saturday afternoon, had a wonderful dinner at Olive Garden in White City, then slept under clear warm skies at the trailhead. At 11:00 a.m. we were on the summit. There were low clouds over Medford, but beautiful, clear views of Shasta and the surrounding mountains. What better way to spend a weekend! Climbers were Laurie Funkhouser, Daphne James, Doug McCarty, and John Pegg, leader.
