I think you are on Fish Creek Mountain a short ways before the summit.

Rhododendron Ridge it is. It formerly was part of the Pacific Crest Trail, so was once famous; it was abandoned by the Forest Service for some years following extensive roading 0f the area; now it has some signage and is an official trail. But very few folks seem to use it.

The location is a little ways south of Mount Lowe to the right of the trail as you head south. It is hard to tell from the trail that its worth the few steps over. Actually my dogs found this viewpoint; when I first got there they were still taking it all in.

I just hiked the whole length of the Rho Ridge Trail last fall with Rob and Kirk. I had been on several portions of the the trail in the past, mostly Mount Lowe and Hawk Mtn, but had never done the whole trail until last fall. There were logs to climb over, but there seemed to be less than 30, if I remember right. Will have to get that cutout next year.

The clues I got out of your photo was that slide scar on the ridge above the Dickey Creek trailhead and of course the powerline track going over the far ridge.

Now I have got to look for something to post, that's the hard part.

This one might work, it is a current trail in a new wilderness:

Is that a look out to Mount Jefferson from the Mount Mitchell Trail?

It is from the Rimrock Trail with Oak Grove Butte blocking most of Mt Jefferson in the background with smoke from the Bull of the Woods fires last fall. So you are correct.

Your turn to post.
