The 'book' states how grand the views are.....
Well they under-exaggerate
However: the 13 mile road off of 542 that gets you there
is pure pothole hell
DO NOT TAKE YOUR LITTLE CAR THERE !
If you do, you will be eternally sorry.
The trail is in great shape. A bit steep. But once you
top out on the ridge; the only problem is how to decide when
you want to stop walking. So much to see.

You might find belemnite fossils on the ridge up there too.

Aren't little car independent suspensions best when it comes to "pot hole hell?"

Those pot holes are so deep and wide that they were even hard on my Tacoma to get through....
As for photos.
I have tried and tried to post them on here. Never seem to get them to go.
Why can't NWHikers put in place a photo program that will adjust whatever
photos you send here to fit the format.
BTW. My daughter refers to me as: " A techno Neanderthal"

CC: I agree on the photo posting. I have some nice photos of Skyline from several years ago, but have never learned how to post. Why can't they just do like emails and click on the pictures and post as an attachment. Maybe I'm making it a bigger chore than it should be.
I don't remember the road being that bad when I was there. A buddy of mine and I hiked out along the ridge about as far as the trail went which put us right at the base of Baker. We planned to spend 2 nights, but rain and wind came up the first night. We survived that but we were out of there the next morning.

I used to run the photo portion of a site...storage and bandwidth requirements are huge. Unless you are opposed to Google (which would be completely reasonable), just put 'em in a google photos album and copy the public link to the little box above the edit window next to "Pics", with "google photos" selected in the prior box. Then it's just a matter clicking the ones you want. https://www.nwhikers.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=10921

Thanks for the tip. I'll give it a try and see what develops. I have quite a few pics from old and recent hikes I would like to share. Since CV we have been getting out on as many hikes as we can. Did 3 this week. Age doesn't allow us anything difficult. We have a lot of good scenic spots here in Central Oregon that might be of interest to the viewers if anyone happens down this way.

I would certainly be interested in seeing that. I've done a handful of hiking trips in that area, really enjoy it. A very different flavor than up here in Pugetopolis.
