As You Wish is a moderate out-and-back hike in Oregon, about 4 miles from the town of Wren. The route is roughly 2.7 miles long, with a total elevation gain of 1,386 feet, and it starts at about 1,158 feet, reaching a high point of 1,191 feet. The steepest stretch comes at about 0.7 miles in, where the grade reaches 18 percent. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Corvallis show July and August highs around 82 to 83°F with only about four wet days a month, while winter months bring highs in the mid-40s and rain on most days. That station sits nearly 600 feet lower than the trail's high point, so temperatures on the hike run cooler. The trip takes about 1.5 hours. The Word to Your Mother mountain biking trail is just 0.3 miles away, and the Stark Naked and Logout hikes are each about half a mile off. Paddlers can reach the East Channel Willamette River about 7 miles away.
