Hike Description
Barlow Butte Trail #670 climbs up to the summit of Barlow Butte. There are no views from the summit itself, but a short detour south along Barlow Ridge will give you nice views of Mt. Jefferson and Mt. Hood
From the trailhead walk south past a big old signboard. The path is wide here because this is the route of the old Barlow Road (Road 3530, the vehicle road a little bit to your left, deviated slightly from the Barlow Road when it was built.) The trail soon connects with that road. Across the road the trail continues, dropping downhill (this junction was signed in July 2013, but the sign is falling down and may be gone by the time you visit).
