Another item of historical interest that you may or may not want to include is that this peak was named in 1906 by R.S. Shelley of the Forest Service after a large Buck he found sunning himself on the summit - According to "Oregon Geographic Names".
Overcast with light rain today however we have had snow on the ground the past three weekends which is not normal here. Jacksonville and other cities received more snow than we did.
I wanted to give you 3 stars because you poked fun at us Portlanders but your page is too good. And because.........um............I had never heard of this one. (Damn, it hurts to admit that.)
Thanks Brian (I think). I have a daughter who lives in Portland so I had to educate my son in law and his brother about Oregon geography. The two of them are always up to a hike but the two I've done with them were 15 milers and now they really don't like going with me. When you get really bored for something to do sometime, give Buck Peak a thought.
Yep, this one and Tanner Butte are definitely on my short to-do list. Anytime there is one in the immediate area that I have not done, it bugs me. :- ) If there are any more in this area you are holding out on, hope you get them up soon. And good thought on the PNW message board thread too!
Nice job and some great pics. I've been temped to post this one, too, but it's hard to get good photos - you have done a great job with that! Thanks for putting up the page.

Untitled CommentThat is a great piece of information. I'll add it to how the peak got its name. Thank you for that.

Untitled CommentI've heard that about the mountains in Oregon. One of my pals who went backpacking there told me it had the "feel" of the southern Apps.
