Would that be the Burnt Granite Trail #595 ?

Very close...

Are we looking at Mt Mitchell center, Signal Buttes to the right, and are you on a trail?

And McLaughlin Blvd does not run to the top of it?

That is Mount Mitchel in the center, and on the far right are 2 bumps, is one of them Signal Buttes and the other High Rock? Now that you mention it I might have stepped off the trail a few feet.

Not sure about the last one, not on my map anyway...

The old lower elevation trail from Burnt Granite to Rhododendron Meadows and Fadeaway Springs

No but interesting, I see that trail on the 1938 map, is there anything left of it?

Road 4670 may have covered a little of it, and logging probably eliminated more.

But for the most part judging from the 1946 Mount Hood National Forest map the roads avoided the old trail. A couple of spur road may be close to or on its route.

Trail 569, Rhododendron Creek, still exists, which the old trail connected to.

If this trail could be recovered, it would form a loop with the Rhododendron Ridge trail, connecting to the south near Graham Pass and looping north on Burnt Granite.

So is your trail the  extension of Rhododendron Ridge trail northward of Mount Lowe near Granite Peaks?
