Date: August 25
Distance: 5.25 miles
Elevation: 1600 ft.
In preparation for a long hike through the Eagle Cap wilderness in a few short weeks, my friend Josh and I joined up with a few friends to tackle Saddle Mountain. I had done a lot of day hike ascents in the gorge and around Mt. Hood, but never this far out toward the coast. This was a day of making some new friends and taking in a summit view vastly different from what I had gotten myself used to. This is truly a spectacular hike that I would recommend to anyone near the coat with a pair of hiking shoes and a few hours to spare.
