Description:
This loop located just inside the Three Sisters Wilderness will take us by five lakes and a waterfall. Erma Bell Lakes trail #3563 is quite popular and was recently cleared and reopened, but shouldn’t be too busy mid-week. We’ll park at Skookum Creek Campground, about 35 miles east of Westfir, where each vehicle will need a Recreation Pass. If you already have a Recreation Pass, please bring it so we can make sure each vehicle will have one.
We’ll hike by all three Erma Bell Lakes (Lower, Middle and Upper) and check out the waterfall between Lower and Middle Erma Bell Lakes. To make it a loop, we’ll hang a left about a mile past Upper Erma Bell Lake to Williams Lake Trail #3589 and Irish Mountain Trail #3588, which will add Williams Lake and Otter Lake to our hike. Be prepared for mosquitoes, and I've heard it may be a little muddy as we pass near Otter Lake.
