Don, you beat me by 3 minutes!!!!  We must have been posting at the same time....

Don and Rob, you're both right.  That was too easy, wasn't it?  You guys can arm wrestle to see who gets to post the next one.

OK, this isn't a trail, but 100 bonus points for anyone who can identify where this tree/sign is located - I'll give one hint - it is to the side of a decomissioned road:

This photo is of a faint abandoned trail in our district. It was what I call a cut off trail, for starts on one trail and ends at another. Don't know if it ever had a name or number, but probably did back in the day.

There are blazes on the trees and several switchbacks coming out of the canyon. I wasn't able to follow it all the way up last month because of deep snow above 3000 feet. The photo was taken down lower where the sun melted the snow near 2500 feet on a south slope. I might be able to reach the top now that it has warmed up a bit.

Don,

In a previous post you mentioned a trail on the '38 map between Switch Creek and Lost Creek connecting the trail along the Clackamas R with the one running along the rim around Oak Grove Butte, so I'm guessing it is that one.

BTW, I visited both the Lost Creek trail and Switch Creek trails yesterday for a couple of hundred yards each - I didn't see any obvious trail. Switch Creek looks the nicest, given the size of the trees in there I doubt that piece has ever been logged.
