June via Hardesty Mt. and return DESCRIPTION:WEATHER UPDATE (THURSDAY EVENING): CURRENT FORECAST IS 45 DEGREES\, 30% CHANCE OF RAIN\, SNOW LEVEL OF 2500 FEET. THE MODELS DO NOT SHOW A LOT OF PRECIPITATION DURING THE HIKE; STILL\, EXPECT A CHANCE OF SHOWERS/SNOW SHOWERS/SOME RAIN. BE SURE TO BE PREPARED FOR COLD CONDITIONS AND WEAR WICKING MATERIAL TO DEAL WITH SWEAT. HARDESTY IS KNOWN FOR ITS MUDDY BOTTOM PART\, AND OTHER TRAILS WILL BE SLICK\, TOO. WALKING POLE(S) ARE STRONGLY RECOMMENDED. AT THE MOMENT\, THE HIKE IS STILL ON. IF THERE IS SIGNIFICANT SNOW\, WE WILL PROBABLY END UP JUST DOING HARDESTY. This is a hike I’ve considered doing for a long time. It is Mt. Hardesty to just below the summit and taking the Sawtooth Ridge Trail by Sawtooth Rock over and up Mt. June. From there\, it is back to Hardesty\, to the summit and then back down. No\, I am not doing Eula Ridge and Willamette Trail with this\, although it crossed my mind. Be prepared for weather\, but if there is significant rain or a low snow level (below 4000’) the hike will either be canceled or shortened to do Hardesty\, which is still difficult enough. No Hardesty hike has a fast pace\, but it will be important to keep moving steadily given the short daylight hours. If it is important for someone to do 20 miles\, we can arrange that at the end by having that person walk part way up Goodman Creek Rd. Not sure where lunch will be; a lot depends upon the group and the weather.

We cross 480\, take a trail to another junction near the road and then have 1 mile to the top that is steeper and switches back to the summit. There are sparse views of the Sisters\, and there are decent views of the McKenzie valley.
