Review & FAQ:
Crane Mountain is one of 80 peaks in Oregon that are over 8,000 feet. It’s also #39 among 73 Oregon Prominence Peaks. It offers spectacular views of Goose Lake and, on a clear day, faraway views of Mount McLoughlin and Mount Shasta too. The Crane Mountain trailhead is toward the end of a challenging road accessible only by four-wheel-drive vehicles with high clearance ability, and even then maybe not all the way. It begins just shy of Crane Mountain Lookout. It’s a 4-mile round trip hike between the trailhead and the trail’s highest point, which is not the mountain’s summit.
