This outing to the lushly forested high Western Cascades includes wildflower areas and samples features that illustrate the old volcanic history of the
region. 

At Right Angle Viewpoint very dry unstable soil on an ancient pyroclastic flow prevents tree growth, and provides the 180 degree viewpoint. Many Cascades peaks are visible. Unusual volcanic spires stand watch. We will also visit a second overlook over a glacial valley.

Easy to moderate 5 miles with a elevation gain of 5-600 ft. Mileage and gain are approximate as the route is not on maps that show trail mileage. High Point of 4900 ft.

RSVP here, or by emailing Becki at rebecca@clackamasriver.org or calling (503) 303-4372.  Bring plenty of water, a camera, bug spray, and a lunch.  Be aware that temperatures in the upper watershed are cooler than down below, and wear appropriate footwear.

Visit the under-appreciated but spectacular highlands of the Olallie Scenic Area. This area underwent sheet glaciation rather than valley glaciation, resulting in flatter terrain and so many lakes that many have never been named.

Highlights include wide-ranging views with the glaciers of Mount Jefferson only 9 miles distant, glacial striations
in bedrock, wildflowers, and mixed woodlands with  meadows, lakes and cliffs.

The moderate hike of 5.6 miles has a 900 ft. elevation gain on a gentle up and down route. High Point of 5320 ft.

Bring plenty of water, a camera, bug spray, and a lunch. Be aware that temperatures in the upper
watershed are cooler than down below, and wear appropriate footwear.
RSVP to attend by emailing Becki at Rebecca@clackamasriver.org or calling 503‐303‐4372.

This most striking viewpoint features a dropoff of some 3400 feet and views from Mount
Jefferson to Hood.

The final goal is a narrow fractured outcrop with cliffs on three sides. The Clackamas Basin below this viewpoint is at its broadest in the
upper Clackamas. The hike follows flatter terrain except for the final lift to the viewpoint. Distance is 4+ miles and total gain is about 625 feet. High Point of
5015 ft. This trail is very old but now little used.

Bring plenty of water, a camera, bug spray, and a lunch. Be aware that temperatures in the upper watershed are cooler than down below, and wear appropriate footwear.  RSVP to attend by emailing Becki at Rebecca@clackamasriver.org or calling 503‐303‐4372.
