The pnwSOTA website was created to facilitate communication between SOTA operators in the Pacific Northwest region, as well as show off some of the activities of the top-notch folks we have in the area. On this site you will find information about getting started in SOTA as well as details about summits and activations contributed by people that are operating here.
4615 is a 2-point summit in the Mt. Hood National Forest near Wahtum Lake and nearby Indian Mountain. Just go do Indian Mountain if you are already up there. The hike is a 0.5 mile bushwhack and 260 feet of gain through semi-open forest from an obvious parking area. The summit area itself is a boulder pile with a flat top. A short scramble gets you up top with plenty of places to set up any portable station.
Hampton Lumber timberlands in Oregon (and perhaps elsewhere), as well as related sub-brands Mid-Valley Resources and Wilson River Tree Farms now require a free permit to access from Hampton. Access is 7 days per week. See details at:
