Endo is a short, easy out-and-back hike in southern Oregon, about 2.3 miles from the town of Pelican City. The route is roughly 1.1 miles long, with a total elevation gain of about 550 feet, and it reaches a high point of 4,879 feet. The climb is front-loaded, with the steepest stretch at about 0.36 miles in, where the grade reaches 28 percent. The trail starts at around 4,355 feet and ends at a similar elevation, so the round trip is about 550 feet of climbing and 550 feet of descent. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Klamath Falls show July highs around 86°F with only about two wet days, while winter highs sit in the low 40s. That station sits roughly 800 feet lower than the trail, so temperatures on the hike run cooler. The trip takes about half an hour. Several other hikes start close by, including Tank at 0.4 miles and Use the Force and Junker at 0.5 miles. For climbing, Cougar Rock Boulders is about 6.5 miles away.
