Activity Notes

This is a multi peak climbing trip to the Wallowa mountains in eastern Oregon. We will hike in via Thorp creek and camp for 3 nights.  We will climb Chief Joseph one day and Sacajawea the next.

As this long drive (330 miles), I suggest carpooling (feel free to contact other participants.  I will be driving and can take a couple of riders).

You  will need normal backpacking gear for three nights camping (snow free summer conditions). Climbing gear will be helmets, trekking poles.

Schedule:

Aug 15  - Drive 5.5 hours from Portland  to the Wallowas Hurricaine  Creek area and camp nearby.

Aug 16  - Trips officially begins. Meet at trailhead 9AM and hike into base camp in Thorpe meadows (5-7 hours). We will stay there for three nights.

Aug 17 - Climb Chief Joseph

Aug 18 - Climb Sacajawea

Aug 19 - hike out to traihead (5 hours), trip ends, and start drive home.
