Description:

***UPDATE***
Due to not just the rain tomorrow but wind gusts up to 30mph, I am going to CANCEL the hike. I can't imagine climbing the cone in rain and wind.

Please email me mssq@comcast.net OR cancel on the site OR call me at 520-488-9569 (voice mail is fine). I may try yet to get this one in.

Weather forecast is for rain beginning after 11. Snow is on the trail at the 2 mile mark but it is passable. I haven't seen anything about wind in the forecast, but I wanted to give everybody an update. Going up on the cone itself may not be a great idea if the forecast pans out. Stay tuned.

Annual hike up the cone. Nice 3 mile hike to the volcanic area gradually ascending with 2 sections of walking in the volcanic debris. Climb the cone and have lunch on top. Return to vehicles by 230 or 3. Nice views of Black and Yapoah Craters, Collier Glacier and Cone, North and Middle Sisters, and the Husband, as well as the northern Oregon high Cascades. Plan on any weather. It can be warm, but we’ve had snow on the cone (once) and had lunch in the woods because of rain (twice). If the weather is unsuitable, we won’t climb the cone because of exposure (not yet).

Plan on layers including gloves. It can be chilly up there this time of year. Wear good sturdy boots. Walking sticks and gaiters are useful but not essential. No water sources on the hike.

We logged out the trail on 28 September.
