Overview
This is a highly rewarding trip for hikers seeking a lot of mountain scenery for a moderate effort. The route is along a once long-forgotten segment of the Vista Ridge Trail. In the summer of 2007, a group of volunteers from the Oregon Hikers forum gathered to reopen the route all the way to Owl Point . This effort involved clearing 178 logs from the trail that had accumulated over the previous three decades, brushing out sections of trail that were so overgrown as to be impassable, and rebuilding the tread in spots where the elements had taken their toll. The trail rescue at the time was in response to a USFS proposal to turn this beautiful trail into a motorcycle playground, an idea that was finally put to rest three years later, thanks to the involvement of many hiking advocates, including the Oregon Hikers community.
