B Deleted_Beck Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 howdy need some places to do some good, tough trail running and pack hiking. having basically no free time to just head out and explore, i'm hoping somebody from around here has already done some of the leg work.. i've heard there's good hiking off the first gate on Rocky Point - anybody been up there? anybody been up across from the weigh station between 'poose and corn pass? anywhere else? big plusses for elevation variation... big hills would be awesome. thanks -ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Frieh Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 The Mt Defiance trail in the gorge gains just under 5000' in 5.7 miles. A great run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crickette Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 The Rocky Point gate is on the right, just a little over 1 mile from the bottom, off of Hwy 30. There are many dark and weird trails back there to keep you busy. We managed to get lost one time (on mountain bikes). Continue up Rocky Point to Skyline for a 1400 ft climb to Dixie Mnt (all paved road). Also, there is elevation gain and logging trails on Cater Road but not sure if hunters are back there.
