Pilot Rock Hike

Overview

In 2009, the landmark volcanic plug of Pilot Rock became part of the new Soda Mountain Wilderness in the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument. Pilot Rock's name comes from the fact that this prominent landmark once guided gold miners, trappers, and pioneers toward a pass in the Siskiyou Mountains. Oregon's last known grizzly bear was shot near Pilot Rock in 1891. This is a great family hike in the spring, and in dry weather, scramblers may want to tackle the short, steep climb to the top of the rock.
