PNW - First Stop: Spencers Butte, Oregon

    Since I went into detail about Jedediah Smith Redwoods in the last post (Which was our actual first stop up coast) I didn't feel like it needed it's own Blog Post.

    Our next stop after leaving Jedediah Smith happened to be a small hike called Spencer's Butte in southwestern Oregon. This hike was a great journey for beginners and boasted an excellent view of Southern Oregon. I would suggest an approach from any side.

     We found this hike after I saw a photo on instagram of a nice looking view in Oregon that I really wanted to see, after a few Google image searches.. I found out it was Spencer's Butte which was only a few hours north of Jedediah Smith, and happened to be literally on our route to the Hoh Rainforest. 

Since we spent a total of 3 hours at this location I don't feel the need to get too detailed about it. It's a beautiful small hike and I would definitely recommend it to anyone in the area. The woods around the base of the butte are extremely green, and have some beautiful moss.. Mostly dominated by Douglas Fir. 

Below are a few images from the hike to the summit of Spencer's Butte
