So perhaps in more ways than one, the powerlines are our friend.

So here is a trivia question for you. How many trails in our district go underneath power lines, current and abandoned trails included? I don't know myself, but I can think of several right off the top of my head. We are blessed with 3 power line corridors in our district, not sure about the other districts.

Here is my list:
- Baty Butte
- Burnt Granite (lower - abandoned)
- Clackamas River
- Fish Lake
- Lodgepole
- PCT
- Red Lake
- Sounds (it goes next to a powerline corridor - I don't think it goes under it - abandoned)
The Olallie Butte Trail follows the powerline corridor briefly at the start - without crossing under the powerline but parallel to it.
I had almost the same list, except I forgot Lodgepole and Red Lake trails. In addition to your list I had the Old Bagby Trail near Austin Point along the Collawash River and the South Fork Mtn Trail between Baty Butte and Bagby Hot Springs, both abandoned trails. Burnt Granite actually stays away from the powerlines, it just seems like it because you drive under them.
