We went up to Parker after activating Soda Mountain. This was a drive up summit, not sure if it always is, but the ODF lookout was being manned by a really nice guy Terry who welcomed us to the top to enjoy the view. Nice view of the surrounding summits in the Ashland/Klamath area. One of my favorite parts of going up to a new summit is viewing and identifying the different mountains I had activated or wish to. This lookout was a neat view of some of the near and far summits we have been to. Plenty of room to park and trees and rock to use to set up.
There is a sign on Hwy 66 for Parker Mtn LO. Gravel/cinder roads that are mainly timber corp owned to get to the summit. There was an open gate a little ways down that I am not sure if it gets locked when no one is manning the LO. Also keep in mind that during certain times of the year the access road to Parker from 66 as well as many others in the area are closed. Sorry I don't have the dates but mainly winter to my understanding.
