This is one of the more accessible of the hikes starting in or near the Applegate Valley in Southern Oregon. It provides access to Acorn Woman Peak , formerly Squaw Peak, with the old lookout (that is now a rental) and great views. Barring an unusual snow event, the hike is open year-round. In the spring (April - June), there are wildflowers in the south-facing meadows (called "balds") crossed by the trail. In the summer, an early start allows you to climb the arid south-facing balds and twisted oak woodlands in the cool of the morning.
