There are spectacular views of both the coast range and the Cascades on the drive to this box. Bald Peak State Park has quite a few trees so the mountains aren’t as visible there as they are along the road but is a nice spot for a picnic and a short stroll to this letterbox. Go on a clear day.
To the Trailhead: Highway 219 runs north-south between Hillsboro and Newberg. Bald Peak Road forms a loop with this road. Go west on Bald Peak to the parking lot marked with a State Park sign on the top of the mountain. Coming from Hillsboro this will entail keeping right at a Y and going left at a stop sign.
To the Letterbox: From your car walk southeast along an avenue of firs. Look left until you spot a couple of good places to catch a wave. Don’t bother to bring your surfboard. With Mount Hood centered between these two points, take a compass reading of 235 degrees magnetic and head this direction to a dirt trail. At the first Y go right 20 steps. You will see a likely home for a letterbox at 310 degrees. The letterbox waits down low behind bark.
