Summary: At the parking lot at the top of Michelle drive you start up the gated fire road. This is fire road is not named road, but I call it the 611. As you come around the bend, you'll see a road heading up on your left. Again, not named on any map, but could be 611.1. Take this up to the sumit. If you continue on the 611 road it will join up with the 610. At the summit you'll be able to sit on the hill side and enjoy the view. If you stray off the road at the summit, watch for poison oak there is a lot of it. This is a short hike the is enjoyable year round and good one for families. Trailhead: From Corvallis take HWY 99 W north about 3 miles to Lewisburg Road. Take a left at the light and follow Lewisburg to where it ends at Michelle Drive. Follow Michelle drive to the top where it ends at a parking lot. This is your starting point with a great view. If you want, you can combine this hike with the Michelle Drive hike for a great workout.
