| calebEOC | Lots of hunters out Date Climbed: Nov 17, 2012 | |
| Gunfire all around, people sitting in cars waiting for elk to jump out of the fog and onto the road so they could execute them; and tons of people driving 4x4's on the OHV trails. Helped one guy who hit a tree on a quad drag his wrecked 4 wheeler back up onto the road. Gate was open for the west summit and drove right to the top. East summit was a quick walk up. | |

| There was some interesting debris on one of the summits so this was kinda intriguing by lowland peak standards. Had to walk some snow covered roads to get close as I recall because I did this in March. | |

| Dean | Forested cohp Date Climbed: Aug 8, 2003 | |
| Two visits in 2003 First Visit: August 8th - I remember this one vividly thanks to a trip report I posted on cohp.org I had a lot of pics which were posted on my fototime account but they were lost when fototime cancelled my membership and deleted ALL my pics because my check for renewal didn't get to them in time. Always, always back your stuff up, this was a painful lesson. I lost a lot of other pics to other peak visits that I can't ever replace. duh 2nd Visit: On November 1st, I returned with Bob Bolton and Trapper and Roxanne. We did this one after doing Rogers Peak and we did this one in the dark with headlamps. Since I knew the road from my August visit, I got us to the correct spot and we had a hoot doing both highpoints in the dark. Earlier in the day we had done Lincoln's counties two highpoints and Bob joined Trapper, Roxanne and I for Rogers and this one. | |

| Redwic | My 100th USA CoHP Date Climbed: Oct 2, 2011 | |
| South Saddle Mountain has the distinction of being my 10th OR CoHP, but my 100th USA CoHP overall. WOW! This was part of a bigger 1350 RT excursion I took from eastern Oregon to western Oregon, reaching various CoHPs and CoGPPs along the way. The fog and drizzle ruined any possible views. Side-Note: At the four-way intersection, I accidentally continued around what turns out to be C-Line Road. It still worked in my passenger car. Here are those directions: After 8.3 miles from the "T" intersection, I veered left. Only 0.2 miles later, the road hits a "T" intersection with Seven Cedars Road. Turn left (almost like a U-Turn) onto Seven Cedars Road, and then follow it ENE. After 1.2 miles from that intersection, I turned right and uphill. After 0.5 miles further, I reached the saddle between the two HP contenders. The gate was open for the western summit, so I drove until at the base of the towers and walked to the highest point. Then I drove down to the saddle and parked. Then I hiked up to the eastern summit. The old fireplace near the summit was a nice sight. | |
