On Wednesday, September 30, I climbed South Pyramid in the Western Cascade Range of Oregon. This peak is west of Oregon Highway 22 northwest of Santiam Junction. South Pyramid has 1588 feet of topographic prominence and has a rock tower for a summit. It has been on my wish list for several years.
In August 2021 Ken Russell and I hiked the Pyramids Trail #3380 to the summit of Middle Pyramid. This was a nice trail and the rocky summit had excellent views. On our descent we attempted to access South Pyramid as well but the route from Middle Pyramid did not work for us. I hoped I might try South Pyramid by another route sometime later.
