Summary: This is a sustained 4 mile up hill hike on gavel fire roads to the highest point in McDonald Forest. You'll get a great view of the valley, of old and new growth forests, and you'll be able to view class projects around logging and clear-cutting done by the department of forestry. Trailhead: From I-5 take Corvallis Exit, Hwy 34 west and follow into Corvallis. As you enter Corvallis, the road becomes Harrison Blvd. Follow Harrision through town and as it crosses 53rd Street it will become Oak Creek road. Follow Oak Creek road (watch for it to run off main road) till it ends at the OSU research station parking lot. The Orange gate is your starting point.

Reviewed by Viewer on 9/4/2007 I prefer to start at the Sulphur Springs gate for this hike but the result is the same -- a good workout and a great view for a reward. 
Reviewed by Viewer on 8/29/2006 Nice hike via logging type road. It's nice at the top as are all high hikes. It's a good run to the top and back as well as a good hike.
