FEATURED
MAP
Diamond
Peak Wilderness
Imus Geographics has done it again. They have produced a map of
one of the favorite areas in Oregon. The Diamond Peak Wilderness
is located SE of Eugene and encompasses Diamond Peak, Lakeview Mtn., Redtop
Mtn., and numerous lakes and unnamed peaks.
The map is drawn to a scale of 1:42240 which equals 1.5 inches to the
mile. It is an excellent map with contours, streams, roads and trails
and plenty of additional information to make your trip complete.
It is overlaid on high-altitude aerial photography which gives a good idea
of what the ground cover looks like.
This is not only a good map to use but for the map enthusiast it is
a beautiful addition to a collection.

HIKE
OF THE MONTH
Craggy
Peak Trail #3
This trail starts at Forest Road 9327-040 and ends at the Boundary trail
#1. it is about 4.4 mils one way and climbs from about 3600 feet
to 5200 feet at its high point. It is not accessible during the late
fall or winter months.
It is not used as much as other trails, however, it can be used by hikers,
mountain bikes, motorcycles, or horses.
I have hiked 95% of the trail and mostly it is a fairly easy hike.
There is quite a bit a damage from erosion to the trail in places which
causes deep ruts, but the views are spectacular. You can view Mt.
Adams, Mt. Ranier, and the numerous rock formation in the Shark Rock Area.
In addition there are numerous side trails that lead to mountain meadows
with summer displays of subalpine wildflowers.
The following is a view from the trail of Mt. Ranier.
Water can be scarce and the meadows can be damaged by misuse so please
be prepared and practice low-impact, back country use ethics.
Maps that cover this trail are: USGS quads Spencer Butte, Quartz
Creek Butte, and McCoy peak; and USFS Mount St. Helens NVM or Mount Adams
ranger district maps.
Order
a map that covers this trail from our catalog.
