Description:
I call this hike The Obsidian Grand Tour as it encompasses a large area of diverse terrain and viewpoints near the North Sister. We'll start at the Obsidian trailhead and cut over to Scott trail. Our first stop will be at Four-in-one Cone, and then we'll connect to the PCT and head south past Minnie Scott Springs to another great viewpoint overlooking Collier Glacier. From there we'll continue down Opie Dilldock Pass and the Obsidian Cliffs, where we'll leave the trail to scramble up to Arrowhead Lake for a refreshing swim and lunch. We'll then continue past Sister Springs and Obsidian Falls and back to our trailhead on the Obsidian Loop Trail. This is an all-day adventure, so don't expect to get back home early. Some of us will be stopping at Takoda's restaurant after the hike.
