This was my first time up South Sister. Great trail in the trees for the first two miles before a nice plateau. Lots of bugs early in the morning on this section of the trail. There were some small snow fields that we crossed on our way up to the lake before the red mile. I used hiking poles and was glad to have them! The red mile was tough!
Once we made it to the summit we had great views from St Helen’s all the way to Mount Shasta! Great day hiking and was easily my favorite hike of the Six-Pack thus far.
