There are many relatively popular and well maintained hiking trails in the wilderness area. Trails #132, #132A, #133, and a short portion of #192 were constructed by the Forest Service and are maintained annually. All other trails in the area were constructed and are maintained by the Mazamas, a mountaineering organization based out of Portland, Oregon. The Mazamas trails are classified as primitive, are steep and sometimes difficult to follow. The top of Observation Peak offers panoramic views of Mount Hood, Mount Adams, Mount Rainier, Mount Jefferson and the Goat Rocks.
