The Barlow Butte Trail #670 climbs up to the summit of Barlow Butte in a recently added (2009) section of the Mt. Hood Wilderness. There are very limited views from the summit itself, which displays colorful wildflowers in the summer, but the old lookout site below the summit (see the directions below) offers a great vista to Mount Hood . A short detour south along Barlow Ridge will give you more expansive views south to Mount Jefferson and north to Mount Hood . For a more extensive hike on the hard-to-follow, abandoned section of the Barlow Butte Trail, see the Barlow Ridge Loop Hike .
