Other information
As long as you're at the trailhead, check out the Dee Wright Observatory at McKenzie Pass. You get great views of surrounding mountains over a huge lava field. The observatory is a stone structure, built in the 1930s by the CCC. It's open all the time - no doors or gates that can be locked or anything.
