It starts with a hike through the forest\, followed by a fun ridge traverse that has some exposure and finishes with one pitch of rock climbing on a fixed line to the summit. It is a shorter hike in than most Oregon mountains and is a shorter overall day than any of the other technical peaks.\nWe can either drive over the night before and spend the night at a nearby campground\, or it’s doable to drive over in the morning and back that night with a VERY early start (like 3:30am).\nYou’ll want to be in good enough shape to gain the 3800 ft in elevation (4 Mt Pisgahs) and hike and climb for a 10 hour day. You’ll also want to be comfortable with exposure. Super fun day and great feeling of accomplishment to bag your first technical peak.

This hike starts out along the north shore of Waldo Lake then loops through the Taylor burn area to Upper Ridgon Lake\, Lower Ridgon lake and Lake Kiwa. The fall colors are beautiful. The trail then returns to Waldo shore where we will have lunch at lake side and return along the shore path.

Today\, he is commonly referred to as Oregon’s Muir or Thoreau\, and he is credited with bringing awareness and protection to much of the Cascades. Waldo Lake\, now named after him\, was a favorite destination for the Judge. He camped on the south shore and named the site “Camp Edith” after his daughter. Time has erased the campsite\, except for a tree that has the weathered remains of the camp’s name. Our hike today will try to locate this silent sentinel.\nMeet at the Albertson’s (NE corner) on 30th and Hilyard for carpooling to the south shore of Waldo Lake. We will return by 6pm.  URL:https://obsidians.org/event/finding_waldos_tree-_waldo_lake-11889/ CATEGORIES:Trips END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20170910T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20170922T235959 DTSTAMP:20261115T134054 CREATED:20170210T080000Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240424T101056Z UID:29359-1505001600-1506124799@obsidians.org SUMMARY:Southwest National Parks DESCRIPTION:This trip has been requested by our loyal extended bus trips riders for three years.
