SUMMARY:Tom\, Dick & Harry Group Hike - Central Oregon
DESCRIPTION:This is an 8 mile hike with some easy scrambling near the ridge. The trail starts at Government Camp and passes by beautiful Mirror Lake — the perfect spot for a reflected photo of Mount Hood. We climb a total of 1\,700′ — most of that through forest until we pop out at the first viewpoint. \nFrom there\, the trail becomes scant. We will decide as a group whether to continue on the final 1/2 mile to the true high point based on current trail conditions. Trail description on AllTrails. \nThis hike is part of the Six-Pack of Peaks Challenge. \nAs of May 10th\, there is still snowpack the last mile\, so bring trekking poles and microspikes if you have them. I’ll update in the comments as conditions change (and likely improve). \nI’ll be driving up Friday night and camping the night before and we will meet at the trailhead at 9am for introductions. We will hit the trail by 9:15. \nAfterwards\, join us for lunch at Mount Hood Brewing in Government Camp. \nThis is roughly a 2-hour drive from Bend\, so bear this in mind and consider carpooling (coordinate in the comments). The trailhead parking area is pretty big and it’s paved (no gravel roads to drive on this one). \nRSVP here to join us.

SUMMARY:Black Butte (the long way) - Central Oregon Six-Pack
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. 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 The Barn 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.

SUMMARY:Black Butte Group Hike - Central Oregon Six-Pack
DESCRIPTION:We like big buttes and we cannot lie! And Black Butte is a beaut! This symmetrical cone-shaped butte is home to an active fire lookout tower\, as well as a historic cupola that you can easily imagine must have been the coolest summer digs ever\, with spectacular views of Mt Washington\, The Sisters and beyond. \nThis moderate hike starts at the upper trailhead (which doesn’t require a high clearance vehicle\, but is a six-mile gravel road with some washboard sections). We will climb 1\,443 vertical feet over roughly four miles (two up and two down). Check out our detailed trail guide for the specifics. \nMeet at the trailhead at 8:00 and begin hiking at 8:15. \nBring 1-2 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. \nFriendly dogs are allowed; I will be bringing my two labradoodles Farley and Lucy. \nThis is not a fast-paced hike. Our goal is to enjoy the views (which if the weather cooperates\, are awesome).

SUMMARY:Sutton Mountain Group Hike - Central Oregon Six-Pack
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. \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?). After lunch we head home\, or take an optional side trip to the Painted Hills. \nThis hike is the first in the 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”). \nLeave a comment below 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: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:Hiking in the Snow or Winter Mountaineering
