Ingle Mountain is a six point summit near Mt. Vernon Oregon. It is a little over 4 miles round trip with a total elevation gain of ~1100ft, but it seems a bunch more. That is because net elevation gain is only about half of that. So one keeps seeing false summits followed by saddles followed by false summits …
The trail starts at 44.2947, -119.1235. This is the end of the road and the start of an ATV track that goes to the summit. Summit has a sturdy marker on top for pole anchor if you don’t think it sacrilegious. I didn’t ponder the question too long as the wind was fierce so I dropped of the summit proper to the lee side of the hill.
I though this would be a much more difficult summit to access until I found this on peak bagger:
