Found a great new hike today - Mount Mitchell. From the top you have a astounding view of Mount Hood, Mount Adams and Mount Stubby. It's just south of Mount Stubby, right off 503. Take 503 east past Cougar, turn right onto the road just beside the END 503 sign, turn left onto FS10, turn right at the wishbone 4 miles in, and park where the road ends. It's a 2,500 foot climb that peaks at a 4000 foot elevation, is very steep at the bottom and evens out towards the top. It took 5 hours to hit the peak and back, would be considered a trail with a medium difficulty, and most importantly is scarcely trekked (only ran into 4 hikers). Highly recommended!
