SoloJoe's Ascent of Mount Paradise (1606 feet)

Stats

Summit: Mount Paradise
Date of Ascent: 10-21-2010
Successful: yes

Trip Report: Nice quick loop from Crater Lake. Walked around NE side of lake from parking lot and picked up AT, which I followed to its junction with a woods road atop peak. Bushwhacked final couple hundred yards to summit buildings. Returned via different woods road that after a brief descent hooked back in with lakeside trail.

Good intro for the novice 'whacker. GPS read 2.4 miles with 554 feet of elevation gain. Clean restrooms at parking area.
