SUMMARY:Group Hike up Black Butte
DESCRIPTION:We are headed back to Black Butte\, this time taking the longer route from the Lower Trailhead. Unlike the hike from the Upper Trailhead\, this hike hike is a strenuous climb with over 3\,000 vertical feet. The total mileage comes in right around 10 miles\, making this a great way to train for bigger hikes. And the trailhead is easier to access with a short (<.25 mile) gravel road to the parking. \nWe are meeting up at 7:30 AM\, will hit the trail by 7:45 AM. Last time I hiked this I was on the trail for almost 5.5 hours (with a nice long break at the summit). \nBring 2 liters of water\, snacks\, sun protection and layers appropriate for the weather. There is currently snow as you near the top\, so microspikes and trekking poles may be useful (we will know more as the date draws closer). \nAfterwards\, you are welcome to join us at Three Creeks Brewing for lunch (opens at noon) or explore the town of Sisters on your own. \nThis hike is part of the Central Oregon Six-Pack of Peaks Challenge\, and I will have information to share and can answer any questions about the challenge as we hike. You can also check out recent trip reports from other challengers to get a sense of current trail conditions on Black Butte. \nThis hike was reschedule from the original date (March 4). \nRSVP at the website link below (via Bend Hiking Meetup).

SUMMARY:Group Hike up Sutton Mountain
DESCRIPTION:Sutton Mountain is a remote beauty near the tiny town of Mitchell\, Oregon and the Painted Hills unit of the John Day Fossil Bed National Monument. Depending on the weather between now and then\, there may be snow. The trail is mild\, but microspikes might be helpful depending on the amount of snow and ice. \nThis moderate hike is a steady climb to the high-point of Sutton Mountain. We will climb 1\,600 vertical feet over 3.5 miles to the 4\,692′ summit\, then retrace our steps to the trailhead for a total of 7 miles over 3-4 hours (get our detailed trail guide). \nOur plan is to meet arrive at the trailhead at 8:00am and begin hiking at 8:15am. The trailhead is not marked\, so follow the driving directions in the detailed guide linked above. It’s about a 90-minute drive from Bend. \nBring 1-2 liters of water\, snacks\, sun protection\, and layers. The trail offers little shade or protection from the wind. \nAfterwards\, we are headed to Mitchell and Tiger Town Brewing for lunch and a cold beverage (maybe the namesake Sutton Mountain IPA?).\nAfter lunch we head home\, or take an optional side trip to the Painted Hills. \nThis hike is the first in the 2023 Central Oregon Six-Pack of Peaks Challenge — we will have info and can answer any questions you have about the challenge at the hike. You can check out recent trip reports from other challengers to get a feel for the hike. \nFriendly dogs are allowed; I will be bringing my two labradoodles Farley and Lucy\, and the last two times I’ve hiked this I’ve been joined by the local ranch dog\, Patch 2.0 who hiked all the way up and back with us (sort of a “trail ambassador”). \nRSVP at the event link below (with Bend Hiking Meetup) so we know you’re coming. Note that there is no cell service at the trailhead\, so be sure to input the directions into your map app before you head out. The turn off to the parking area is not signed and easy to miss. There is a wire fence/gate that needs to be opened to drive into the parking area.

SUMMARY:6th Annual Haunted Hike to Black Star Canyon
DESCRIPTION:Halloween costume optional!\n\nBe prepared for a thrilling hike through the backcountry of the Cleveland National Forest and the northern Santa Ana Mountains. Considered to be one of most haunted places in OC\, Black Star Canyon is well-known for many historical stories from both ranching days and the Gabrieleno or Tongva people who were its first residents. Visitors to Black Star Canyon are awed by soaring red rock cliffs\, sweeping vistas of Irvine Lake and the Pacific Coast\, as well as diverse sage scrub and chaparral habitats with many rare species of plants and animals.\n\nUntil the late 1800s the area was even home to many California grizzly bears. Black Star Canyon was previously known as Canon de los Indios (Canyon of the Indians) in Mexican times. It is listed as California Historical Landmark No. 217 Black Star Canyon Indian Village Site.Many tales are passed down about local residents including an infamous armed conflict in 1831 between trappers led by William Wolfskill and Native Americans that left many dead. As a result of this conflict\, some people consider the area to be haunted even to this day. The Black Star Coal Mining Company opened a mine near the mouth of the canyon in 1877\, which gave the canyon its present name. The mine operated off and on until the early 1900s.\n\nMany spooky stories have been told about Black Star Canyon. Claims that cars won’t start at trail head for no apparent reason\, strange behavior of wildlife\, sites of groups of…something dressed in black hooded robes are among the stories. According to news articles\, an old timer living in the canyon shot at passing people for whatever reason and was prosecuted. News stories of people assaulted (not related to the shooting). This place is spooky.\n\nOur hike will take us to Beeks Place\, the haunted Native American Village and the Doppler Radar Tower for a total of 16 MILES r/t and about 2\,750′ elevation gain. It will be about 6-7 hour hike\, if we maintain a 2 miles/hr pace.\n\nRain cancels this event.
