Oregon Hikers

Hello everyone! Does anyone have any good thoughts for a nice overnight into winter time? Maybe a nice snowshoe to camp for a night? It's trickier to think of a good place to go during the winter than it is in summer... btw, we ARE experienced in camping in the snow, so that's not as much of an issu...

We are in the same position. We were going to start at the Santiam Pass trail access and end at Timberline. I was holding out hope that they would have everything under control and reopen the trail, but that doesn't look promising. I'm thinking of taking a shorter trip and just starting at Olallie o...

I had originally thought of going to the Olallie area and finding a lake, but then this popped into ...

Thanks! It's hard to find definitive information out there sometimes.

So, looking around I am seeing some conflicting information. Nw forest passes. Is there a comprehensive list of where passes and permits are required?
