And don't forget Dry Ridge.

What trail am I on?  

Is that Rho Ridge north of Mount Lowe? Don

I thought it was just south of the summit, but close enough. You win!   D 2

So it is my turn again! I really don't get out on current trails too often these days. So the only one I could come up with was a abandoned trail a came across a few months ago that I haven't showed anybody yet, so here it is. This is where I first came across this trail, with the cut log and blaze on a tree nearby. The trail was only on a couple of the older maps, so you will need to go back into the 30's-40's to find it. It's in the Upper Clackamas River area above Austin Hot Springs. Don      

Gunna be a little bit tough if you haven't showed it to anybody yet.   But here it goes, looks like moderate elevation, say 3500'? And, trail's entering a clearcut or a road prism?   D 2

Isn't that the point of it to make it hard to figure out? The trail does go that high and higher according to the old maps, but this location is 7-800 feet lower, more 27-2800'  elevation. The photo was taken above a road prism just past a creek on a dead end spur road. I followed the trail for a 100 yards or so, but the bad news looks like it enters into a future thinning area with all the new flagging going on. Isn't it bad enough to wipe out a trail once with logging, but to do it again with a thinning operation on the trees 40-50 years later to seal the end of this trail. I don't know, it was my third attempt to locate this trail when I finally found something and followed it into a proposed thinning area. I thought why bother, except for the fact that nobody has found a segment of this trail so far to prove that it actually existed in the first place, other than a dotted line on an old map from 75 years ago. Don  

No takers? This trail is a dotted trail, so not a major route. No clue if it had a number or a name, but I call  it by the name of the creek it follows. The maps show it going down to the Clackamas River and crossing to meet the Upper Clackamas River Trail at a junction with another trail that heads East up a prominent butte in the area. Don

Well Don, your clues have confused me (which is not hard to do).  I thought you might be referring to Oak Grove Butte, but I don't see any dotted trails that follow a creek that connect to a trail that goes to Oak Grove Butte.  Since you said you just found the trail it can't be Switch creek (and switch creek is a dashed trail, not a dotted trail). I'm going to need some more clues....

Somewhere near Granite Creek?

The trail is further up the river past Burnt Granite, but if you drive to the current trailhead access for Burnt Granite you drive within 2-3 miles of the mystery trail. Don

Fawn Creek?

BrianEdwards said Fawn Creek?

  That would be correct. I only found a 1-200 yards segment above the 4671-170 road to the south of Fawn Creek. Below the road was a newer clearcut, so probably not much use looking into any further. I was more interested in locating the eastern portion that goes up Sisi Butte. Your turn to post one. Don  

Chuck and I chased that trail up the otherside figuring it would be apparent at that spring, but it was dubious at best. I mean whether we were on tread or imaginary tread. You know how that is. Or game trails/imaginary tread/indian trail type trail.   D 2

  Abandoned trail in the district

You along Stroupe Creek?

Donovan said Chuck and I chased that trail up the otherside figuring it would be apparent at that spring, but it was dubious at best. I mean whether we were on tread or imaginary tread. You know how that is. Or game trails/imaginary tread/indian trail type trail.   D 2

  I think it would be worth another look now that we have a wilderness without trails. Don

Yep

Just crin' to be sawed out. Nice. D 2

So I take it, it is my turn to post one? That trail along Stroupe Creek is a portion of the South Fork Mtn Trail that comes from South Fork Mtn and ends at Bagby Hot Springs. A good portion of it from our present trailhead for Baty Butte comes down Stroupe Creek, going through 3 clearcuts before crossing Nohorn Creek on over to Bagby. So here is a view from another abandoned trail in our district. Seeing how I spent most of my time tracking down these old gems, most of my pictures are from abandoned trails. Don
