Lookout Mountain Hike
September 3, 2019
$65 – $75Sign up now for a moderate to strenuous hike up Lookout Mountain on Sunday, July 10th with Central Oregon Landwatch. This will be a beautiful hike with scenic views of Big Summit Prairie and stunning views of the Cascades. If it’s a clear day we might see Snow Mountain and the Strawberry Mountains to the east.
Amy Stuart (former Deschutes Watershed Manager) and Greg Jackle (Ochoco District Wildlife Biologist) will guide us and share their expertise in wildlife issues and lead discussions on how the Off-Highway Vehicle trail proposal in the Ochocos could impact deer, elk, and redband trout. In addition to our hike leaders, our board president “The Nathan” will be along to increase the fun factor and help us identify birds and their songs.
This is rated as a MODERATE to STRENUOUS hike, approximately 4.5 miles in distance with an elevation gain of 1,220 feet. The summit is 6926 ft of elevation. We will be bush whacking out across open country and meadows and through a few stringer stands to avoid all the blow down that fire crews haven’t been able to get to this year.
When: Meet in Bend for carpool at 7:30am Sunday, July 10th, return by mid-afternoon (more details for registrants)
Where: Lookout Mountain in the Ochoco National Forest
How: Sign up here
Why: Get out in nature with us and learn more about our programs!
