Description:
New start time as of Monday, 6/17: Start at 6 AM. We will go as far as Belknap ("just" 20 miles) leaving time for a swim and an optional stop at Takoda's.
This will be a beautiful but very long day - the last group of Obsidians who did this hike took about 10 hours, so bring plenty of snacks and be sure to wear comfortable layers and shoes that will support your feet over rocks and roots. We'll be able to refill our water bottles in the several campgrounds we pass, so you don't need to tank up on that. We'll do this as a shuttle, with cars parked at the trailhead just north of Clear Lake and at our stopping point between the McKenzie River Ranger Station and the town of McKenzie Bridge.If we have enough cars we'll park one midway in case anyone needs to bail. The number of participants will depend on arranging the car shuttle, so please consider driving. Roads and parking are easily accessible to all vehible types.
