Saddle Mountain

Oct 01, 2010 16:37

Yesterday's hike was 20 miles from Seaside at Saddle Mountain. There was a forecast of sunny skies so the view should be terrific! Starting at an elevation of 1680 feet above sea level, the trail climbs to 3283 feet in a 2.5 mile challenging hike. (and I have to admit I'm a bit sore today)
( many, many pictures )

I did indeed. :D
The only thing missing was a hiking partner but then I don't have weekends off either so I'm kind of used to that. :)

That's quite a view! Are those clearcuts on the mountain side? About how far would you say Saddle Mountain is from the ocean's edge (as the crow flies)?

Yes, they are clearcuts. I saw several log trucks going towards Portland on hwy 26.
I believe it's about 15 miles as the crow flies.

How can you comment on this post if you missed it? *ducks* haha
Thanks! Would you believe this was the first day all summer where they forecasted sunny weather in Seaside on my day off? I jumped at the chance to finally get up there! :)
