Saddle Mountain has long been one of the most popular hikes in Oregon’s northern Coast Range, drawing hundreds of thousands of visitors each year, but for two years it remained shuttered, leaving hikers to find other trails to climb.

On this week’s episode of Peak Northwest, a few months after the state park’s big reopening, we return to the classic Coast Range adventure, mounting the saddle and taking in the panoramic views.

Those returning to Saddle Mounain will find new features, some big changes and the same beautiful scenery that made this spot so popular in the first place.

Here are some highlights from this week’s show:

Vickie talks about what drew her to Saddle Mountain this spring.
What’s new now that the park is back open?
What it’s like to hike to the top of Saddle Mountain.
Why this is a great trail for the beginning of spring.
