Deschutes River Hike May 11-13
Posted: May 1st, 2018, 10:48 am
Hello! I am planning a 2 1/2 day- 2 night trip to Deschutes River. Leaving Salem by 2 after work...
I'm fairly new and have only ever solo backpacked, but have done multi-nighters before. I'm up for making this trip more of a group. I'm not experienced at planning group hikes as a solo trip so you will have to bear with me.
I thought about doing the Middle Metolius River Hike http://www.oregonhikers.org/field_guide ... River_Hike but I did that hike last month. Pretty place wonderfully loud river, only did a single night and didn't go as far as I wanted, so might be easily convinced to go back instead.
I heard that the ticks are awful this year, hoping that DEET and permethrin will keep me fair clear. Any suggests of things to watch for, or to avoid, welcome.
Thank you for reading.
