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

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.
