Summit: W7O/CC-080
Submitted by NS7P on
I studied topo maps and picked out four unactivated summits in the Elkton, OR area to explore. This would hopefully yield some one-point activations to hold me over until the snow melts to the north. On May 21, 2017, Christina and I headed…

The second Elkton, OR area summit on our exploration list was Saddle Butte, W7O/CC-058. The road to this summit starts near W7O/CC-80; but it looks considerably longer and more involved (I think it is called Little Tom Foley Rd). We headed out…

The third of four Elkton area summits that we went after was Bell Mountain, W7O/CC-061. We tried two routes. One was based on Google Maps directions, and the other was finding a route on the USGS topo map. The “Google” (Brush Creek Road) acted…

Powell Buttes HP is an RF intensive summit between Redmond and Prineville, OR. I believe that it is a VOR site in addition to the other typical radio equipment. It is clearly marked as off limits. Give this one a pass.

EDIT to add a reminder: Although this is a very pleasant, nearly urban summit, it's on private forest company land, and their policy only allows access on weekends and holidays from sunrise to sunset, or weekdays after 4pm to sunset. Agree…

Summary - If the gate is locked (and it probably is), this is a two mile logging road hike and summit hill bushwhack with modest elevation gain. On a clear day there are views from the north end of the summit. The bushwhack is…
