| cjwhat | Good tires needed  Date Climbed: Aug 15, 2009 | |
| Pat and I drove in from Whitehorse Ranch. I was glad I had 10 PLY tires! Even with that we were one thunderstorm away from being stuck forever. The drive took about 3 1/2 hours including route finding ... the walk to the top took 10 minutes. This is a really cool area with amazing canyons (and thus the name 'Oregon Canyon Mountains'). | |

| weeds19 | A long ways Date Climbed: Jun 21, 2003 | |
| I was looking to take advantage of my 4x4 truck that I was only planning on having for a short while longer, so I made the long drive in to this lonely summit. | |

| This was one of the more enjoyable county highpoints I've done, even though it wasn't much of a hike. That high plateau was remote and very wild, with lots of wildlife and great views of the desert mountains. We were very thankful for those 6-ply sidewalls as there were sharp rocks hidden by overhanging brush in some areas, and I hit more than one such hazard that would have taken out street tires, and have done so to other less fortunate highpointers on those roads. A great trip with my great friend Dean. | |

| Dean | Amazing area Date Climbed: Aug 31, 2003 | |
| Bob Bolton and I camped out on top of the plateau and enjoyed the great view of the planet Mars (which was very visible) but had to listen to coyotes most of the night, some who came quite close to my small tent while Bob slept in his 4runner. We then drove close to the COHP and made a minor trek to the high point, amazed by all the deer that we were seeing on the way (who were avoiding the deerhunters). The area itself was very interesting and varied despite the lack of trees. From there we drove into Nevada and picked up the Humboldt county highpoint, Granite Peak. | |
