| Title: | Kings Mountain | | Area: | Tillamook State Forest | | Elevation: | 3226 Feet | | Elevation_Gain: | 2547 | | Trail: | Kings Mountain | | Links: | Elk Creek Campground, Trail Guide, Wilson River Trail | | Notes: | Although the trail to the summit of Kings Mountain is short in distance, I recommend it for experienced hikers only because of its steepness and elevation gain. Several additional hiking trails in the vicinity are: Wilson River Trail, Elk Mountain Trail, and Elk Creek Trail. Elk Creek Campground, a primitive campground, is near by. | | Route: | From Portland, take Hwy 26 west towards the Oregon Coast, then take Hwy 6 towards Tillamook. The trailhead is on the right hand side just before mile post 25. | | TH_elevation: | 679 | | Distance: | 2.5 | | USGS_75: | Jordan Creek | | Reference: | 100 Hikes Oregon Coast & Coast Range by Sullivan / 50 Hikes in Oregon's Coast Range & Siskiyous by Ostertag / 100 Classic Hikes in Oregon by Lorain |
