Travels Backbone Of Cascade Range Length of Oregon By JIM FISHER For the outdoor vacation er who desires a trip away from the noise and confusion of our modern civilization, the Oregon Skyline Trail is an ideal trip to consider. The Oregon Skyline Trail travels the backbone of the Cascade range from the Co lumbia river in northern Ore gon to the California line in southern' Oregon. This trail is a part of the Pacific Crest Trail system whose familiar diamond-shaped markers can lead a traveler along the Cas cades of the Pacific North west and the Sierras of Cali fornia on a trip from the Can adian border to the Mexican border., In TVashington, the trail is known as the Cascade Crest Trail and in California it becomes the Lava Crest Trail. The Oregon Skyline Trail was first located in 1920 and marked by the U.S. forest service from Mt. Hood to Crater lake. The trail was then a hastily constructed route along the line of least resistance and often wandered aimlessly through the foot hills of the Cascades rather than along the summit of the mountain range. Since then, the trail has been relocated in places and reconstructed elsewhere to produce a spec tacular and well-defined route of travel. Start at North To start the 400-mile trip at the north end of the state, the traveler leaves the Colum bia river highway near Cas cade Locks. The trail leads past Lost lake and around the east side of 11,253 foot Mt. Hood, highest point in Ore gon. Further south, the trail travels near Mt. Jefferson and the Three Sisters in the moun tain lake country of central Oregon. Waldo lake, Odell lake, and Crescent lake are next and Diamond lake is not too far south. The Skyline Trail enters Crater Lake National park from the north and travels trough the west side of the park. Fourmile lake and Lake of the Woods are the last big lakes the trail passes before reaching Soda Mountain look out just north of the California line. Alternate Trails Many alternate trails can be followed away from the main Skyline Trail. Other al ternate trails will be added eventually to lead to other in teresting and scenic areas. Besides the "getting away from it all" aspect of a trip along the Oregon Skyline Trail, there are other rewards to be enjoyed. The rugged peaks and breath-taking views make this back country a photographer's paradise. Mountain climbing as a sport is rapidly becoming more popular particularily in cen tral Oregon. Certain portions of the trail can be used in the winter for cross-country ski trips. Perhaps the greatest attrac tion for any sportsman travel ing the Skyline Trail is the fishing. Estimates on the num ber of mountain lakes found along the trail run from 700 to 1,400. Eastern brook were planted in the majority of these lakes in 1920 and have been kept stocked ever since. Primitive rafts have been constructed at many of the lakes and are used for both fishing and swimming. In re cent years, Rainbow trout have also been planted in these lakes. Hunting Along Trail Hunting is also good along the trail with a large number of deer, bear, and grouse be ing found. Bear hunting be comes particularily good in the early fall when huckle berries ripen. Hiking with a pack or rid ing horseback, food supplies and other equipment must be carefully selected. Supply points along the trail are often several days apart and plans must be made accordingly. The trail cro6ses major high ways and passes near resorts, forest lookouts, and guard stations where telephones are To Whom It May Concern This i to announce that I no longer have any interest in the real estate and insurance business conducted by Fidler-MacKenzie Agency, Inc. and assume no responsibility of any nature for accounts of such corporation. SIGNED: 'C LYALL FIDLER FLASH FIDLER PRODUCTIONS P.O. BOX 193, DENVER, COLORADO ' r--.. i J 1 AtMHMMi ISHERWOOD LAKE One of the larger lakes along the Oregon Skyline Trail, which extends from the Washington state line to California, is Isherwood lake. Many smaller lakes are not accessible even by trails. There are estimates ranging between 700 and 1,400 as to the number of lakes found along the trail. k REFLECTION Luther mountain rpflprtinsr in Martrnrotto lake is typical of the beautiful sights along the Oregon Sky line Trail. The 400-mile trip follows closely the Oregon crest and is part of a trail system which extends from the Cana dian border to the Mexican line. The Oregon Skyline Trail was first located in 1920, and has since been relocated in places so it is now as near the crest as possible. available in case of emer gency. The wise traveler will see that his trip is not ruined by poor planning. Camping areas are found all along the Skyline trail. In some places, rustic shelters have been constructed for the traveler. Otherwise, there are no modern conveniences furn ished. The lake water, while often being a little warm for drinking, is pure. Mountain meadows furnish excellent horsefeed. Contact Service Before attempting a trip on the Skyline Trail, it would be wise to contact the U.S. forest service regarding the possible requirement of campfire per mits and other information that they might offer. Camp fire permits are not required some years. In either case, you should always build your campfire in a safe area clear of burnable material. The fire should be only as big as neces sary and should be thoroughly extinguished before being left unattended. The traveler should always try to leave his camp as clean as he would like to find . it. Papers should be burned and other garbage buried away from the camp and water sup ply. Latrines should be locat ed at least 200 feet from any water supply and covered when the camp is left. For residents of southern Oregon who have neither the time or endurance for the complete 400-mile trip on the Skyline Trail, a popular trip is trom Lane ot tne wooas to Crater lake. This trip can be shortened more by taking alternate routes from Four- mile lake and Cold Springs from the south or Sevenmile Creek from the north. Seldom Traveled The portion of the Skyline Trail south of Lake of the Woods is seldom traveled be cause of its location through less spectacular country that has often been logged. In many places, the trail now fol lows roads and the wilderness atmosphere is partially lost. The trail leaves the Lake of the Woods Recreation area going north near the ranger station. It follows Billie creek to the Fourmile lake ditch road and then follows the road f - to Fourmile lake. From here, the trail leaves civilization be hind and heads north cast Island lake to a junction of a trail coming from Cold Springs. A few miles on the trail reaches the Heavenly Twin lakes and enters the Sky Lakes area of numerous moun tain lakes. Further north, a side trip can be made to Devil's Peak lookout, manned by the forest service to detect fires started by lightning and careless campers. The Seven Lakes basin is next and from here, a trail can be taken east to Ft. Klam ath or west' towards Butte Falls. The Skyline Trail con tinues on through a drier cli mate along the ridges of the triplet mountains of Ruth, Ethel and, Maude. The Ore gon desert and its pumice dust is crossed before the trail enters Crater Lake National Park and comes out near Annie Springs. Locally, horses and guide service are available at Lake of the Woods and near Pros pect. This will make the 50 mile trip from Lake of the Woods to Crater lake an easy one for those accustomed to riding, but even the hiker will find the trip an attractive and interesting one to take. When you plan your next vacation, consider the Oregon Skyline Trail and its many mountain lakes and rugged peaks. 22-Month-Old Boy Stricken With Polio Baker (UPI) A 22-month old boy was stricken with what is believed the first case of polio in Baker county in two years Friday night and rushed to a Boise, Idaho, hos pital.
