Fairview Peak

Fairview Peak is a high mountain peak at an elevation of 1.812m (5,944ft) above the sea level located in Umpqua National Forest in southwest Oregon, in USA. High-clearance vehicles are recommended for travel to this site. At the summit there’s a lookout tower.

The road to the summit is gravel. With such a high summit altitude the road can be closed anytime due to snowfalls. Do not travel this road in severe weather conditions. On a clear day, guests at Fairview Peak Lookout can see north to Mount Hood, south to Crater Lake and Mt. McLaughlin and east to many prominent peaks in the Cascade Range. The road is usually impassable from November to May. During June and October, there may be inclement weather conditions such as snow and ice that can make accessing the lookout more dangerous. Access is via single lane, a graveled road, located on a steep hillside. The last few miles are narrow and rocky and high-clearance vehicles are strongly recommended. Proceed slowly and deliberately, using low gear.
