Battle Ax Mountain
With no officially marked trailhead, this hike begins slightly west of Elk Lake in Marion County. Take Highway 22 to Detroit, OR. East of the bridge over Breitenbush River, turn onto (FR) Forest Road 46, with signs pointing to Breitenbush River. After 4.5 miles turn left at a sign for Elk Lake, at FR 4696.
In 0.8 miles, turn left at a small gravel road, onto FR 4697. There will be a fork after...
Gold Butte Fire Lookout
Gold Butte Fire Lookout is a real gem in the Willamette National Forest. At 4618 feet elevation, the nearby Cascade Mountain views are nothing short of spectacular! At the summit, sits a L-4 Ground Structure Type Fire Lookout that was built in1934 to be used as a Fire Lookout. Additionally, during WWII it was used as an early warning station for enemy aircraft.

Dome Rock via the Upper Trailhead
From Highway 22 at the Breitenbush River Bridge, in Detroit, turn north on to French Creek Rd. Drive up French Creek about 7.7 miles to the Upper TH #3379/3381 to Dome Rock and Tumble Lake. The trail can be found on the left side of the road and is easily seen after you pass it. It's best to pass it and use the next fork in the road to turn around. Park off to the side of the road.
It's a 1.5 ...

Accessing the pools is a gift in and of...
Cedar Flat and Kopetski Trail Loop
On Saturday, I slid into the backseat alongside weekend belongings crammed in the car trunk. Backpacks with patches and streaks of dust. Bags of food that could be cooked over the flames of a fire.
We drove south on the 5, leaving Portland and crossing through Salem, as Lake Street Dive albums played loud over the car stereo. Turned east on Highway 22, and then north onto North Fork Road, wher...
Natural Rock Arch
The Santiam Forest is well known for its many beautiful spots, but this one is fairly uncommon. It's likely you will be the only person out here. Since it's such a short hike, just about a mile round trip, you could easily make it a pit stop on your way to or from someplace else and not have to worry about being too tired to be able to make. It's a short and fairly steep climb through pretty de...
