Franklin Ridge Trail (#427)

This trail connects Larch Mountain Trail #441 and Oneonta Trail #424 providing a longer loop opportunity within Mark O Hatfield Wilderness. It affords some unique views of the Oneonta drainage from the west.

Franklin Ridge was severely burned in the 2017 Eagle Creek Fire, and regrowth has made this primitive trail very brushy in spots.

Current Conditions

Expect brushy conditions.
