Just south of Pistol River, Oregon take the Carpenterville Road about 8 miles south. This summit is posted "No Trespassing" except for members of the Southern Curry Dirt Riders Association.

Update February 2021 - Lost Dog Road is now gated with no motorized vehicles allowed. It's only a one mile road walk to the AZ.

This is a very much out of the way summit, along Highway 101 on the Oregon Coast, about 14 miles north of Bandon. Note that there are other Peak 740 in Oregon - make sure this one is your intended peak.

NOTE in January 2021 there was a NO TRESPASSING sign posted on the Stimson Gate Placard. See photo below.

There are FOUR Wildcat Mountains in Oregon, so be sure you want the North Coast version south of Highway 26. The road to the trailhead is short and easy in any passenger vehicle, there's a good spot to park, and summit is in the Tillamook Forest, although the shortest access crosses private timberland. The hike is about 1.5 miles one way, and 400 vertical feet gain. This description I consider the 'no bushwack' version.

Sweet Spring Mountain and other summits on the north side of North Fork Road east of Lyons, Oregon are on private forest land and there is no access. Other summits that cannot be accessed in this area could include:

House Mountain  W7O/WV-068

Henline Mountain and other summits on the north side of North Fork Road east of Lyons, Oregon cannot be accessed from the east as the roads are gated at private forest land on that side. Other summits that cannot be accessed from that side could include:

Sweet Spring Mountain  W7O/WV-061

Peak 4432 and other summits on the north side of North Fork Road east of Lyons, Oregon are on private forest land and there is no access. Other summits that cannot be accessed in this area could include:

Sweet Spring Mountain  W7O/WV-061

House Mountain and other summits on the north side of North Fork Road east of Lyons, Oregon are on private forest land and there is no access. Other summits that cannot be accessed in this area could include:

Sweet Spring Mountain  W7O/WV-061

Peak 4432  W7O/WV-113

There is no access to Cape Horn via NW Cape Horn Road - about a mile from the summit the public road becomes a gated driveway and you can get no closer. 

UPDATE Dec 2022: There is now a closed (unsigned) gate a ways up Mills Bridge Road. It is recommended to park on the highway and this activation becomes an 8 mile RT. 2200 foot gain road walk. 

The gate with access to Boiler Ridge from near Camp 18 on Highway 26 (mp 18) is now posted "Permit Required" for all access. These permits may be expensive ($300 motorized and $75 non-motorized) and challenging to obtain (appears to sell out quickly). https://recreation.weyerhaeuser.com/Permits
