With a summit at 3,226 feet (983 m), hiking to the top of Kings Mountain is no mean feat but its fantastic views are absolutely worth it. From the summit, you can enjoy panoramic vistas across Tillamook State Forest, a heavily wooded region brimming with wildlife. Kings Mountain lies just west of Elk Mountain, above the beautiful Wilson River.

Situated just west of Elk Mountain at 3,226 feet, Kings Mountain is a moderately challenging peak to bag and the views over Tillamook State Forest from the top are worth it! When combined with Elk Mountain via Elk Mountain - Kings Mountain Loop Trail, this makes for a great circular route!
