Hammock Camping in the Eagle Cap Wilderness / Wallowas
Posted: July 21st, 2018, 10:09 pm
Hi,
I'm preparing for a backpacking trip in the Wallowas in late August / early September. I'm considering bringing my Hennessy Hammock but am hesitating as I don't know if the terrain is well suited to hammock camping or if campsites would be much more limited. I've browsed a handful of trip reports and googled it but haven't come across anything that addresses the suitability of hammocks in the eagle cap wilderness.
The details of my trip haven't been finalized yet but its very likely we will spend a night or two at Ice Lake, a night or two at Glacier Lake or Mirror Lake, and another night somewhere in the lakes basin Maybe Horseshoe lake maybe elsewhere..
Those of you who have been to the area (or even better hammock camped in the area) would you advise bringing a hammock and do you have any other hammock specific advise (good campsites, etc).
Also, if anyone has any general recommendations on favorite campsites, trails, views, or anything else, i'd love to hear them. Thanks!
