Description:
This classic Obsidian hike will take us up a short section of the PCT to South Mathieu Lake and some excellent views of the Cascade Volcanic Arc. From the top of Yapoah Crater there is an amazing view of recent lava flows and glacial features near North Sister and Collier Cone. Climbing the volcanic cone is optional. On the return loop we will visit North Mathieu Lake, an unusual lake, partly formed by a lava dam. There will likely be some long patches of snow on the PCT. Gaiters, trekking poles and water resistant footware are highly recommended. BE PREPARED FOR MOSQUITOES ON THE FIRST 1.5 MILES FROM THE TRAIL HEAD.
