Description
This delightful trail through a little visited portion of the Three Sisters Wilderness Area fully lives up to its name. Terrain is rolling through old growth forest and past interesting rock features and scenic lakes. A bike or car shuttle can make for a fun loop. Early season mosquitoes can be hungry.
The trail enters the Three Sisters Wilderness Area shortly after leaving the trailhead. Wilderness Permits are required for both day-use and overnight travel in the Wilderness from Memorial Day Weekend until Oct. 31. Permits are available at the trailhead.
