Leaving the Crescent Mountain Summit Zone – Willamette National Forest – Central Oregon – 4K
My goal of these wilderness trail videos is to 1) show reverence for the beauty of the land, and 2) give YOU actionable trail information that can assist you in planning your own hike here.
This was a day-hike in Central Oregon, Willamette National Forest, Summiting Crescent Mountain, approximately 10 mile Out and Back and 2400 FEET Elevation Gain to the Summit where you can see 9 mountains! You start in the Old Growth Forest, cross a Creek, and ultimately ascend to the Alpine Zone above the tree line all the way to the Summit. Just before the Summit there is a fork, go right which takes you to the Summit Zone. The temperature was classic Summer weather, low of 51 officially but in the low 40's in the shade of the forest canopy, with a high in the high 70's to low 80's. This was hiked on 7/16/2022 and there were of a handful of mosquitoes at a few spots on the trail that were strategically waiting to attack, I got 4 bites overall which wasn't bad all things considered, they were NOT throughout the trail it was 90%+ clear. As far as road conditions, it's highway and then a well paved forest road, and then a few tenths of a mile down a pretty bumpy forest road that is narrow, so drive that section very slowly and carefully. In my opinion, the road does not require 4-Wheel Drive despite the short bumpy section, however do watch for road conditions, particularly snow/ice depending on the time of year.
