Mount Ashland & PCT to Pilot Rock (OR)
Start at the Lithia water fountain in the ashland downtown plaza, at the base of Lithia Park at about 1900 feet elevation. Take any route desired up to peak Mt Ashland above 7300 feet. The classic "Mt Ashland Hillclimb" race course with a more direct first 2 miles is the fastest. This is about 9 miles of dirt road and 3 of trail and a quarter mile of peak scramble - or half mile of trail to the peak out if you choose - which may be faster pending snow/ ability scrambling.
