Stats: 3 miles and 900ft gain round trip in 2.5hrs.
Links: Strava. Lists of John.
Our annual trip to the Oregon coast which turned out to be our honeymoon with the obligatory peak to hike. Not much to this bad boy to start. Just and easy hike on a mostly shaded and good trail and never real steep. Not much for views to start out with, but the view from the true summit is wonderful.
It seemed like Normies, aka most people go to the rocky view point just west of the true summit. In my humble opinion, the view isn't as good there as it is blocked by trees and there is no shade. We went to the true summit as indicated on Lists of John. From the trail, it is just a short and easy bushwhack up a use trail with a tiny bit of exposure to one side and maybe one borderline very easy class 3 move. We found it short and fun and we had the summit all to ourselves. I ran up to the other viewpoint just to check it out and found it underwhelming compared to the true summit.
