Three Sisters Recommendation

[toby]

I am looking for an overnighter in the Three Sisters area this weekend. I am new to the Portland area and am not familiar with the Three Sisters but I hear it is a great place to see. Around 10-15 miles round trip would be ideal. Wanted to get down there around the Fourth of July but the snow was still pretty bad...

Thanks.

Hi!

Unfortunately you will not have many options yet due to the snow. However, you might be able to get to Green Lakes, which is a beautiful spot. I suggest that you call the Deschutes NF to get more specifics (541-383-5300).

Camp Lake (Chambers lake area) is my favorite. It's about a 15 mile hike from the Park Ridge TH, and if I remember correctly, it's about 8 miles from Pole Spring Creek. But like greglief said, the snow will probably be an issue. I would call the forest service over there.

Thanks for the info, I called the FS and they said they should be OK. I will give it a shot and post a report and pictures when I return.

Looking forward to your report Toby and welcome to the site!

I was down in that area two weeks ago. We climbed middle sister and camped at Camp Lake and the trail was easy to find. Some people said the backside of the mountain was really covered and it was hard to find the trail. But we just went from Pole Creek to camp lake and had no problem with the snow

Change of plan, we will be going to Packwood lake (or other lakes in the area) in Goat Rocks Wilderness area up in WA. I will make a report and take some pictures. Have a good weekend.

Looking forward to a Packwood Lake TR. I got turned back out there last Spring (07) due to snow and have been itching to get back there again ever since
