About This Trail

Imported description

You can go to the base of Three Fingered Jack and then take a hike to the top. The peak of Red Butte is located near the town ofMarion Forks, Oregon. The trail is great for hiking and takes a full day to complete. The trail up to the lake is fairly easy. The view at the lake is amazing and the water is cold but great to swim in. You will come across Alice Lake before the trails go up to Red Butte. A good place to drink before heading up.
