What: Day hike to Sunrise Camp When: 9/25/22 Who: Just me (at first) Opening picture: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/ZHp8gZmNpBUHtpVV00RvWxlXi5UWUPHDEbZFQpHtq1HySjZ81pLjbfc_a1KddFp9vZqYN4833gL5QDsf18mSQti6RFsvmpl6my9r4Xn-2p3vpwWp9yd-k0pX9nvRsxmnV6vPXgwq1A=w2400 -----------------------------------...

Very detailed and informative TR. I love it!

While the Wonderland Trail has its moments, I wouldn't do it again. Not enough bang for the buck. The Glacier Lake loop might have better overall views, based on your report.

Thanks for the trip report. I am thinking of trying this hike. Looks like you did not have an ice axe, any regrets about not carrying one? We'd also go counterclockwise. Would that be easier or more difficult for any reason? While I don't claim to be a mountaineer or an expert at crossing glaciers,...

Born2BBrad, that was a terrific report (as always from you), thank you for sharing! Would you be able to update your original post to include the Yakama phone number that you used? I tried searching for it, and only found the Forest Development number; is this what you used? Thanks, I'm glad you en...

Glad to hear they brushed out Kettle Creek (that was a pain with all the brush). So you did a pair of 20 mile days? Not too shabby. ;) The interactive USFS Wallowa Mountains Trail Information site notes the Little Kettle Trail was maintained up to shortly before the talus switchbacks. It made a hug...

What: South Wallowas backpacking loop When: 8/24/22-8/25/22 Who: Just Me (Born2BBrad) Opening picture: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/5szQ3N4Dxvruc6K0AIYn5cMkbq3c2DfuR7ZVpgQryjxAs1g6SNqHgfZgrE4yPGuAWWUwRJWko3g9lVg69oNiXYb0C9hxyfrLV2WIMqrzi9d3yfpJlpJH1SUYe0nAlljilVWoAizhXw=w2400 ------------------...

Why not ride the Western Rim from Memaloose to Lord Flat? Or from Warnock Corral to Lord Flat? It's a road that gets very little traffic. The views are the best in Hells Canyon.
