Over the next two days we'll day hike further into the Wilderness, exploring Linnton Meadows as far as Eileen Lake and the rugged saddle between Middle and South Sister where spectacular views reward tired legs. Our last day we’ll return to the same trailhead by 2 pm. This outing is for experienced women backpackers who can backpack 6-10 miles over moderate terrain. Because of late snowmelt, unpredictable weather, and unknown trail conditions, participants should be flexible and prepared for possible route changes.
