Get yourself to Keno, Oregon and you'll be within a few miles of a couple of good summits. Hamaker Mountain may be the only six point PAVEMENT drive up in Oregon. Keno is about 12 miles SW of Klamath Falls on the Green Springs Highway 66, or about half that distance to the NW from Highway 97 on the Keno-Worden Road from the wide spot that is Worden, Oregon.

 From the intersection of the Keno-Worden Road and the Green Springs Highway, take Green Springs west about 1.1 miles and turn left onto the Hamaker Mountain or Chase Mountain Road (it's called both names in different resources). Continue on this beautiful wide and paved mountain road 5.0 miles to the sign for Chase Mountain L.O. - which you should also activate when you are here. Continue on the paved road 3.2 miles past the Chase Mountain L.O. turnoff to the summit of Hamaker Mountain.  

At the summit are a bunch of communication sites and a large radar dome. I experienced no interference from the sites but did move myself away from them before setting up. There are few trees for antennas. There are places along road to pulloff before the summit, but you may want to choose a spot near the summit to walk from.
