Description:

We'll have to see how the rest of fire season unfolds - right now, the road to the trailhead is closed and the smoke is bad. I'll continue to monitor the situation and post updates. But if conditions improve, here's the description:

This beautiful hike in the Three Sisters Wilderness has it all - hemlock forest, lava flows, huge obsidian boulders, a sparkling cascading stream along most of the way, and splendid mountain views. The only drawback is that it's a long drive for us, but it's right next door to Bend. It's very popular, and we'll need to get there early, even though the permit system will be limiting the number of hikers. So, we will leave at 6:30 AM - please get to LCC a bit early and be ready for a prompt departure.

We'll have lunch on the shores of Green Lake, followed by your choice of an optional off-trail exploration along the base of South Sister, or more relaxing on the lakeshore.

It's likely to be icy, especially on the creek crossings, so you might want poles or an extra pair of dry socks.

And don't forget - starting today, you won't need to scrounge for a one-dollar bill.
