Description
The Hardesty Trail reaches the Wildwood Trail here. There are two junctions, with a short stretch of the Wildwood between them. Going down the Hardesty Trail towards Leif Erikson Drive, you will pass the well-known "Big Stump", a large western red-cedar that was cut around the turn of the 20th century.
The Hardesty Trail was built in the 1940s. William B. Hardesty was an early president of the Mazamas and a major advocate for the preservation of natural environments. A plaque at Split Rock, in Mount Hood's Paradise Park, also honors him.
