A
brusing couple of miles south of Olallie Lake on the Skyline
Road brings you to the Brieitenbush trailhead, and a large parking
area complete with outhouse. From here, you can leave your jarring
memories of the bumpy drive behind, and begin the spectacular
climb up Park Ridge on the famed Pacific Crest Trail. In virtually
any guidebook you will find that hikers of the entire 2,000 mile
trail rank Jefferson Park, and the view from Park Ridge, as one
of the top highlights - which explains the popularity of this
trail, and the willingness of hikers to endure the access road! |
