Middle Santiam Wilderness - 2 day trip

Re: Middle Santiam Wilderness - 2 day trip
I backpacked into Donaca Lake last summer but did not go farther. Only about seven trees down going into the lake, so some recent bucking had been done. I'm guessing the route to Chimney Peak should be obvious but there may be obstacles to circumvent - not a lot of routine maintenance into the middle of the wilderness. Give yourself a turnaround time and stick to it!
