Devils Peak from Cool Creek Hike

Overview

This route is a very steep assault of a small peak with a very nice fire lookout on top. For 3.5 miles, you will walk straight up Trail 794 through a lush, green forest with an occasional break for views of Mount Hood on a clear day. At the junction with #793, take a right for a short while until you reach the spur path to Devils Peak . Almost immediately, you will notice the fire tower up ahead. Go up and take a look! This tower is well maintained by volunteers and there is a log book inside where many overnight visitors have signed in. If the weather permits, you will enjoy views of Mount Hood and the surrounding forest. Head back the way you came for an unrelentingly steep path down to the trailhead. Bring trekking poles to give your knees a break. Depending on your season of travel, you may encounter vibrant wildflowers, delicious huckleberries or a nice snowpack.
