Grasshopper Mountain Tr3569 - Chucksney Mountain Tr3306

Three Sisters Wilderness Hiking

Once in the wilderness area, McBee Tr3523 is a key connector trail, leading into the Mink Lake basin and terminating in the Horse Lake area.

Crossing Way Tr3307 passes through dry lodgepole pine over level terrain for 3mi, then becomes a steep ascent into the McFarland Lakes area where it connects with the Pacific Crest Tr2000-E.

From the Frissel Crossing CG, South Fork McKenzie Tr3327 is a quiet, leisurely day hike through the second growth Douglas-fir alongside the South Fork of the McKenzie River.

Shale Ridge Tr3567 follows the gradually sloping drainage above Cedar Bog and through a grove of giant old cedar trees, then crosses the North Fork over a maze of logs and channels before ascending steeply via switchbacks to a ridgeline and into a forested area and meadow crossing.

Constitution Grove Trail 3675 wanders through old growth Douglas-fir on a river bench, above the current river level.

Blair Lake Tr3553 is the southern connector, following a meadow around the north end of Blair Lake, then ascends out of the basin and along a scenic ridgeline.

The primitive Williams Lake Tr3589 includes steep grades through several drainages and crosses several meadows on the way to Irish Mountain Tr3588 near Otter Lake.

Irish Mountain Tr3588 maintains a moderate grade through alpine forest to Otter Lake, followed by a small meadow then on to a ridge top. The trail then passes through rolling, rocky terrain with views of the Waldo Lake area, followed by flat meadows with large ponds.
