Description
The junction is right on the crest of Hardy Ridge. A little spur leads south to a fin of rock that overs views to Mount Hood and an expanse of the Columbia River Gorge, including west to Archer Mountain, east to Hamilton Mountain and Table Mountain, and across the river to Tanner Butte, Yeon Mountain, and Larch Mountain. A narrow, rough trail heads north along the ridge crest for about three-quarters of a mile to the high point on the ridge, Phlox Point.
