Gordan Peak Trail #3387
Your hike starts on a ridgeline with periodic views of Mount Jefferson and Three Fingered Jack, before gradually descending through mature and old-growth forests.
The trail follows a gentle smooth grade for the first 3 miles and then drops off down steeper grades before connecting with the Chimney Peak Trail in the Middle Santiam Wilderness.
From the trailhead, you can also head northeast approximately 3.1 miles to the top of Scar Mountain for wonderful views along Scar Ridge.
