Description:

This is a close in hike in the Dexter area. It's a steady climb for about 2 miles, then a "rolling" up and down, and finally a short, steep climb to the former lookout tower at the top. There will be some woodland wildflowers and hopefully, a profusion of flowers at a rock outcropping. Most of the Cascade mountains can be seen from the top. Poles may be helpful for the steep sections. Note: Bill Sullivan's description of the hike starts from a different trailhead.

Trip Report

It was a fabulous day - not too hot, not too cold, very few mosquitoes, and quite a few flowers. And the cloud cover mostly lifted as we enjoyed lunch so we could see the Cascade mountains from Mt. Jefferson to Mt Bailey. A special treat at the top was visiting with world famous ornithologist Noah Stryker and his friend Andrea who had just spotted a white pelican flying by, far from "home".... and he would know!
