A PCT SOTA Summit (or close by)

Old Baldy, OR | July 2022

Approach the summit from the north on FS 600 - it's less than a quarter mile OW and about 100 feet gain. There is a GPS track provided by N7KOM here:

https://sotl.as/summits/W7O/CS-058. The GPX track instructions say:

"Trail begins at the memorial. Some flags on the way up. Trail is unmaintained, but easy to follow."

The dashed line to the east is the Pacific Crest Trail, which could provide alternative access.

 

 

Dutchman Peak, OR July 2019

Self explanatory as it is just walking up the road to the lookout, I guestimate from memory 1/2 mile walk from gate. Dutchman Peak Lookout is the last of the original cupola lookouts still in use, and is also one of the oldest, built in 1927. Outstanding views of course, and you can go into the lookout and check out some of their mapping and compassing tools. A bit steep and rocky at the top. You won't have trouble finding any spot for a pole.
