Description
This rocky viewpoint is off the Surveyors Ridge Trail #688 just 1.2 miles south of its junction with the Oak Ridge Trail #688A. At the beginning of May, spring beauty, kittentails, Columbia desert parsley and glacier lilies will be blooming. Later in the month, balsamroot will carpet the slope. Mount Hood dominates the skyline to the southwest, and the Hood River Valley spreads below you. Yellowjacket Creek drains the ridge just to the south.
