This is one of three day hikes scheduled for September 11-13 in the vicinity of Sisters, Oregon. Anyone planning to stay in the area for multiple days is welcome to camp at a tent site that’s been reserved in the Camp Sherman campground for the nights of September 10-12. Please feel free to contact me for more detailed info about camping. And please let me know by no later than September 3 if you plan to stay at the campground.

Please note: This hike is in a wilderness area where day use permits are required. I will procure permits for all participants. In the event that permits are unavailable, I will select an alternative hike and will notify participants of the change no less than 10 days prior to the scheduled hike date.
