Location Information
The Carpenter Mountain Trail (#3302) is a very difficult 1 mile hike. Trail ends at Carpenter Mountain Lookout which is on a volcanic pinnacle. The trail is of moderate grade except for the last 600 feet from the top of the mountain which is very steep and rocky. BE CAREFUL. From the lookout you have a view of Wolf Rock, Cascade Crest, Mt. Jefferson, Three Fingered Jack, Mt. Washington, and the Three Sisters.
