| A great day for a hike. Looking at the climber's log it looks like you only go here if you're a p2k chaser, which is sad, because it's actually kinda a cool little summit with a nice hike and great views. More people should know about this one. | |

| Did this with Troy after Gearhart and Deadhorse the previous day. Nearby Thompson Reservoir is a nice camping spot when segueing between peaks in this area. And yes, thankfully the dead trees were cleared off the trail. | |

| Hiked up the western route/old road/trail to the summit. The route had recently been cut out of the numerous fallen trees so the hike up to the top went quickly. | |

| It was a sunny but cool autumn day and the view from the summit gave a different perspective of the Cascades peaks than what I usually see. I enjoyed picking out each Cascade peak to the west, and identified some peaks to the east as well. I had the hike to myself, and enjoyed the quiet and relaxing atmosphere on the summit. | |

| The last summit of my climbing partner and my trip through SE/Southern Oregon. We intended more peaks, but blisters sometimes win. The road is annoying. There is no trail. I don't think the trees are all fallen from the NFS, I just think there hasn't been any maintenance in the last 20 years. That said, 1h 30m or so to the summit even with the trees. Snow up on top was a boon, not a bane. I'd recommend it even earlier than we did it. Great view from the summit, possibly better than all 8 of the other peaks. You can see the Cascades from Shasta (barely) all the way to the sisters. Not bad for a mornings work. | ||

| ericwillhite | Awful hike Date Climbed: Jul 22, 2007 | |
| I suppose this is an easy hike but on a hot July day carrying my heavy kid around thousands of fallen trees, it was a nightmare. I did meet a guy climbing all the old fire lookouts. He doesn't record his ascents anywhere on line and he's been up 800 or so (I can't remember exact number).

| Went up the old lookout road ... except I stayed on game trails north of the road because they felled about a bazillion trees across the road to keep vehicles from using it. Time up an hour and a half. | |

| The old abandoned road was covered with blowdowns that had to be skirted by walking through the forest. This was only an annoyance, however, as it is an easy hike. The views from the top were long in all directions. It was my 51st Oregon P2K. | |

| This was a nice hike on a cold day with about 1' of snow on the ground. I think it was about 35 degrees with some rime ice on the summit. | |

| Part of a trip to this part of Oregon, I did Bald mountain the evening before and camped at Jackson Creek CG, a nice spot. Then I got up with the dawn and did Yamsay before it got too hot and afterwards headed over and did Mt. Bailey, to complete a nice twofer day. My day ended at a rest area above Roseburg, whew, a long one but fulfilling. | |
