Description:

Pilot Rock is a popular viewpoint hike located just south of Ashland. Most of the hike is family friendly except for the last 200 feet which are a class 3-4 rock climb and definitely not for the faint of heart.
Because this trail is so popular with locals and visitors, the parking lot is very large, with room for about 50 cars. There is a big information kiosk at the start of the trail where you can read about the history, the scramble to the top, and the flora and fauna.
Pilot Rock trailhead sign
The first part of the trail truly feels like you are walking through a park. The trail is well graded and very wide with no rocks or roots. The trail cuts through gorgeous wildflower meadows and in late May and early June you will see a plethora of Jacob's ladder blooming. If you are an avid birdwatcher, this is a great place to be in late spring. These forests are teaming with many different species of migrating birds, and it is such a joy to hear them sing throughout the hike.

Rock stairs Pilot Rock Trail
At the 0.75 mile mark you will come to the Pacific Crest Trail junction. Here you will head northbound for not even a quarter of a mile, before the trail for Pilot Rock splits off to the right. From here the trail gets a bit more rocky as you climb up 13 switchbacks. There are a few viewpoints along the way, one of them where you are able to see the top of Pilot Rock from a distance.
​Pilot Rock got its name because it is such a prominent landmark in Southern Oregon and it guided many trappers, pioneers and gold miners toward Siskiyou Pass. This is also the area where in 1891 the last known grizzly bear of Oregon was shot and killed.

Rock climb up Pilot Rock
(this is where you start the rock climb up)
Just before getting to where the rock climbing starts, you will have a great view towards the southwest. If you have decided not to rock climb to the summit, you can end your hike here. If you are climbing to the top, at the base of Pilot Rock make sure to follow the line to the left. The line to the right seems more promising at the beginning, however it dead-ends at a cliff. Continue to the left through two narrow notches, making sure you have 3 points of contact at all times. After the second notch, stay to the right until you are at the top. Keep in mind this is a class 3-4 rock climb, so it is NOT recommended to those who have never rock climbed before. This last part of the hike is definitely not kid friendly and not for the faint of heart or those who are afraid of heights.

(Mt. Shasta view to the south from Pilot Rock summit picture by Ben Tell)
From the summit you will see Mount Shasta and the Trinity Alps to the south. To the west you will see the Siskiyou Mountains and Mount Ashland, and Emigrant Lake to the northeast. Mount McLoughlin (another awesome summit hike), reaches high above the surrounding hills to the north. The summit is quite amazing and quite an accomplishment. Make sure that you get down safely. There are many loose rocks, so one misstep could be detrimental! Also please make sure to watch out for other climbers. Do not descend if you see that someone is trying to come up, as rocks could fall on their head. 
Whether you summit or not, make sure to catch a little side trail viewpoint, just half a mile from the trailhead. There is a beautiful flat spot where the trees open up, giving you views of Mount McLoughlin.

Pilot Rock is a really gorgeous little local hike. Most of it is family friendly since you do not have to do the scary rock climb part to the summit. If you are brave and skilled enough to climb to the top you will be rewarded with breathtaking views. In the springtime, this hike will show off Southern Oregon's many wildflowers and migrating birds. Because it gets so hot down here during the summer months, it is not recommended to do this hike in July and August and early September. During that time views are also frequently obscured by smoke from wildfires.
