Description:

This lovely mountain hike begins at a PCT parking area immediately after Willamette Pass ski area. The PCT passes through a beautiful mixed forest with an occasional glimpse of Odell Lake and Diamond Peak. As we approach Lower Rosary Lake, the climb increases a bit. Rosary is lovely with Pulpit Rock rising to the west. The path continues past Middle and Upper Rosary Lakes, with a view point a half mile beyond the lakes. This will be the turnaround point. Snacks and lunch breaks can happen along the way. Those who are swimmers may certainly enjoy a dip in 1, 2 or all 3 lakes.

Trip Report

What a perfect fall day at pass level. Recent rains have dampened everything, leaving leaves fresh, clean and shimmering. Fog swirled about, occasiional breezes blew, and the group soaked it all up. The timber is exquisite on the hike up the slope. All three lakes have that grayness and greenness with cloud cover and sun breaks.
