Summit: W3-PT-007
Submitted by KX7L on
Another non-NW activation while on my summer work assignment in Cleveland. I was getting bored with the 2 and 4 pt summits on OH, which are mostly on private land, so decided to make an expedition to something with a little more elevation.…

This is probably the easiest summit to locate in Idaho. It is a volcanic dome that rises 2500 feet in the middle of the Snake River Lava Plain. You can't miss it. I accessed it from the ARCO approach, a drive of about 20 miles across a…

Big Butte is a near drive-up (in an SUV - the higher clearance is necessary) in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest that you could do in a passenger car with a bit more hiking (less than 2 miles each way on a road). From Portland, take I-84 to…

Applegate Peak is another summit in Crater Lake National Park, but has more challenging route-finding and hiking than others. It is about 1.7 miles one-way cross-country - there is no trail or significant landmarks. A GPS with waypoints and a…

Mount Walker is a nice drive-up or summit hike just off Highway 101 on the east side of the Olympic Peninsula. There is a good view of Puget Sound from the summit and thus it makes for a good spot to try your hand at VHF/UHF contacts. From the…

This is an easy hike in the Washington Olympics that is not far from Highway 101. The views should be great on a nice day. From the north end of Quilcene, WA drive US 101 north for 1.5 miles, turning left (west) onto Lords Lake Loop Road…

Skunked In Switzerland!

See Upate June 2023.A dusty drive-up in south central Oregon features a fire lookout at the summit and a lot of communication towers. There was some 20m noise that seemed to emanate from these facilities that periodically wiped out…
