Description:

8/5 update: Extra permits available this morning. Participant limit now 12 people.
This is one of my favorite hikes along the PCT! The tentative plan for the hike from Lava Camp Trailhead includes, 1) after 3 miles, a brief stop at lovely S. Matthieu Lake for snacks and views of N. Sister; 2) after 2 interesting miles on good tread through the lava beds, the trail climbs to the shoulder of Yapoah Crater for views of lava flows, Mt. Washington, and beyond; 3) an optional scramble up the fine scree slope to the impressive rim of Yapoah Crater; 4) lunch on the return to Yapoah shoulder; 5) on our return, another brief rest stop at S. Matthieu Lake; 6) continuing down on the old Skyline Trail, an optional swim in N. Matthieu Lake before completing the final 2.4 miles to the trailhead. We will proceed at a steady, relaxed pace, with plenty of opportunities to enjoy the landscape, geology and plants, and to take photos. To best enjoy it, be prepared for a long day with double lunches and double water. Bring the 10 essentials and appropriate gear for wind and cold, sun and heat, and possible rain. Send me an email if you have questions.
