Saddle Mountain

Date: July 28, 2021.

Objective: Saddle Mountain 3,283ft.

Stats: 6 miles with 1,900ft gain in 4hrs round trip.  Strava.


On vacation at the Oregon Coast and found this cool peak to hike.  The trailhead is accessed by taking a paved but steep road.  No fee's (or ferry's) required.  It's a nice hike but kind of steep in places and the footing can be tricky in spots where the trail has been anchored with a chain-link-fence type material that has come loose.  Unfortunately it was too smoky to see any big volcanoes, but we could see the Astoria area and the Pacific no problem.
