Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail

Take a hike on a legend! The 2,650-mile Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail, stretching from Mexico to Canada, passes through BLM-managed lands in Oregon along a 43-mile segment in the Cascade Mountains.

You can explore this area’s unique and diverse ecosystems as the trail meanders through wildflower-strewn meadows, old growth forests, and juniper-covered hillsides.

Opportunities abound to take in scenic views of Mount Shasta, Pilot Rock, Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument, Hyatt Lake, Howard Prairie Lake, and Mount McLoughlin. The trail provides access to the Soda Mountain Wilderness and Hyatt Lake Recreation Area. Terrain ranges from easy to moderately challenging, depending on the direction of travel.
