Peak 3217, WA | May 2021
A short brushy hike will take you to this numbered summit near Ariel, Washington.
The gravel forest road route is Priusable all the way to the trailhead - although you'll be dodging a number of potholes. You'll circle all around the summit to come at it from the north. There is a brushy uphill bushwack included in the adventure. There is an alternative route through second growth marked with an X on the map below - that route isn't as pleasant.
Ward Butte, OR | Private Property
Ward Butte is private property. We secured permission from the landowners to activate Ward Butte via a personal connection.
The poison ivy on the summit is spectacular - otherwise there's nothing to recommend this activation.
Laurel Mountain, OR | Restricted Access
On the summit of Laurel Mountain, Oregon is the Falls City FAA Radar Site - a Federal Aviation Administration facility in Polk County, Oregon. The site is used to identify and track aircraft and provide air to ground radio communications. It is restricted access.
