8 miles of hiking • 2250' elevation gain •

What a florgasm today in the Columbia Hills SP. I started on highway 14, where they are building a new trailhead, and hiked up to the parasailing butte on the ridge east of Stacker Butte.

Met a fellow from Backcountry Horsemen who has been working on getting this trail system approved for many years. He says there will be 8 miles of trail in the area. I saw some flagging, and obvious boot tread near the start, but I mostly just followed deer paths and went cross country. The area is so open, - great rambles! Watch out for ticks.
