Tri Point hike - a photo on Flickriver

Tri Point hike

A hiker and two dogs perch atop lichen-encrusted rocks at the top of a hill.

Our Tri Point hike is a steep, half-mile trek that requires the most daring of public land users to ford Twelvemile Creek and scurry up a canyon wall.

It ends at the intersection of Oregon, California, and Nevada, where you'll find panoramic views, stunning isolation, and one strangely engraved stone.

In 1872, civil engineer Alexey Von Schmidt undertook the survey of the state lines of California and Nevada. He marked his survey line with stones, wood, and iron markers.

At the end of what is now our Tri Point hike, he also left a stone engraved with "1872 A W VON SCHMIDT LON 120 LAT 42." He left this to designate the intersection of the three states.
Visitors and hikers can still find this geographic relic today.

The monument is accessible by BLM Oregon public lands or those managed by Bureau of Land Management - California. The California access is a longer but gentler five-mile round trip hike.

Both hikes contain no markers or trails, so come prepared with a GPS and map. There is no cell signal, and roads are not maintained in the winter. If you do not have the proper vehicle or gear, please consider visiting in the summer months when the hike is most accessible. As always, never head out into nature without your 10 essentials: bit.ly/3lmtUiS

At the end of the Tri Point hike, you'll be able to see public lands stewarded by BLM Oregon & Washington, BLM California, and BLM Nevada.
