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.
