osu11 Posted March 9, 2008 Posted March 9, 2008 Hey I'm just wondering if anyone can tell me about some good hiking/backpacking trails near Corvallis, OR. I'm looking for tough hikes with great views, you know the usual. Thanks. Quote
111 Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 iron mtn (under snow right now) short but sweet, rooster rock (on hwy 20 E of sweet home) Quote
Brewer Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 There's a section of the Skyline trail near the top of Santiam Pass (~1.5hrs east, near Hoodoo ski) that's nice. You probably already know about Mary's Peak. There are some decent trails up there. ~30-40 minutes WSW. I think your best bet for views and elevation would be up near Santiam Pass. Both the Oregon Skyline Trail and the PCT are accessible up there. Go Beavs! (alumni) Quote
111 Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 also, MacDonald-Dunn forest has 25 miles of trails and is the city's northern edge. Quote
shapp Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 Its a hike down, not up, but Drift Creek Wilderness is not too far (towards the coast from Corvallis). I likey this spot. Quote
