Santiam Wagon Road/House Rock
-
Start date: 05/31/2024
-
Start time: 7:30 AM
Description:
The historic Santiam Wagon was designed to lead settlers and their livestock eastward to the pasture lands of Central Oregon and to markets in eastern Oregon and Idaho. It became a major east-west byway through Cascades. This year the Trips Committee intends to have hikes all along this route from here to Fish Lake. In September there will be a FS celebration of the Wagon Road at Fish Lake. The Obsidians will be clearing a section of the SWR near Tombstone Prairie as part of this year of historic acknowledgement. And we intend to have a supported 1 day hike of the trail --18 miles.
We'll have plenty of time to look around the House Rock Cave and have lunch. Come prepared to enjoy this less traveled section of the trail. There are a couple minor creek crossings.
