WHAT'S NEW
Hike of the month:
📍Diamond Peak Summit via Summit Lake
↔️11.25 miles out and back 📈3,190 ft. elevation gain 💪🏼Rated as very difficult Diamond Peak summit is one of the best and most underrated summit hikes in the Oregon Cascade range. There are a few different routes up the mountain, but the route starting at Summit Lake is by far the easiest. Most of the trail is along the Pacific Crest Trail, making for an easy jaunt until you get to the climber trail. The climber trail takes you through many different types of climbing, loose dirt, scree, boulders and a false summit. The 360 degree views from the summit are absolutely spectacular!!

What trails are accessible:With the wildfire devastation that has occurred in Oregon in September 2020 as well as current wildfires popping up daily, trail and road closures can change quickly this time of year.
Check out what Hike Oregon trails and roads are currently accessible: Videos:Every time I post a picture of me backpacking, I get questions about the water bottle hose system that I carry and I have shown it in a few videos, but in today's new video I show you exactly how to make it at home so you don't have to carry a water bladder backpacking with you but you can still conveniently drink out of a hose.
Hike Oregon recently spent 5 days in Eastern Oregon doing a 44-mile loop in the Eagle Cap Wilderness. Check out this awesome short scenic video.
