About This Trail

Imported description

On this trail you will pass by the entire wilderness and view the hills, and there is a hill that extends to the entire wilderness. Jefferson, Hood and the Sisters are part of the sky. Once you're in the picture don't get to the peak. The trail goes below the mountain to meet with the trail to the lakes under the ridge. Say: Spend the night at the lower lake. The lake is well hydrated and cold. Referring, "Get back the next day." The peak and trails are 2,000 feet higher than one another. A lower trail crosses a couple places where there are still water and marsh areas.
