Geo Loop is a short, easy loop hike in southern Oregon, about a mile from Pelican City. The trail is a loop of roughly 0.9 miles, with a total elevation gain of 144 feet and a high point of about 4,629 feet. The climb is gentle, with the steepest stretch at about 0.46 miles in, where the grade reaches 16 percent. The route is a loop, so you can start and finish at the same point. Bikes are allowed, which makes it a good option for a quick ride as well as a walk. 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. Several other hikes lie within a few miles, including Hotsprings Backside about 1.5 miles away and Powerline and Upper Sidewinder at about 2 miles. Cougar Rock Boulders, a climbing area, is about 4 miles off.
