Nice hike with great 360 views at the summit. Went up the Orange trail (Iles Trail). Some moderately steep sections but generally a steady, manageable hike to the summit. Went down the Yellow trail. Some fairly steep spots and some flat rock sections that could be slippery if wet, but overall very manageable. Total distance was around 6 miles. There is a port-a-potty at the parking lot. Parking lot is across from the trailhead so be careful when crossing. Parking lot was pretty full by 9:00am on a Sunday when I went. Plenty of roadside parking though.

This was our first summit hike since moving from Central Oregon. Different in a good way, especially being surrounded in a green canopy of the trees and the lower elevation made breathing easier for myself being 74 years old. Lots of Blueberries to pick on the way up and the view from the top was sensational.

Beautiful scenery. Ton and tons of blueberry bushes everywhere on top. I imagine this hike would be spectacular in the fall foliage season. Hike is a moderate, never steap, gradual incline. Perfect for family outing/picnic!

Excellent smaller mnt if you're looking for an interesting hike that you can do in a few hours. This is also a good hike for kids with some hiking experience. The top is big and broad with awesome 360 degree views.
