Description

Many trail junctions on Powell Butte are marked only with square wooden posts and this is one of them. There are a lot of trails here heading steeply out of a narrow little valley. The Elderberry trail goes up the hill to the east to the summit of Powell Butte. It also heads uphill to the west, only to loop around north past the Raymond Street Trailhead to the Old Holgate area. The Cedar Grove Trail head up to the north providing a shorter route to the Old Holgate area. The only downhill trail is the Cedar Grove trail toward the south, which leads to the Ellis Street Trailhead and other trail junctions.
