Below is from the trip leaders:
Oregon Cascades Explorer checking in! We just got out of our
last 6-day backcountry section of the trip! Boy was it fun. While in the Deschutes National Forest, we
submitted the South Sister, battled the mosquitos with positivity, and hiked
nearly 40 miles over the course of the 6 days. We worked together as a group.
We shared the chore of cooking meals in our cook crews, we split up tents and
group gear and hiked in with everything that we needed, and we bonded like
never before. The summit of the South Sister peak sits at over 10,500 feet of
elevation. The summit experience was a highlight of the trip and an incredible
way to wrap things up. Can’t believe we head home soon!
