Three Sisters Hut to Hut Tour

Mar 25-27, Fri to Sun

Advanced Intermediate ability level

Try something different and use your route finding skills! This is a 22 mile Hut to Hut, self guided tour from Dutchman Flat near Mt Bachelor to Three Creeks Sno Park near Sisters. The route roughly follows the historic Metolius Windigo Trail (unmarked) at 6500’ elevation, on the eastern edge of the Three Sisters Wilderness area. We will meet our shuttle Friday at 8:00 am at Three Creeks near Sisters. Friday & Saturday nights will be spent in huts along the route and Sunday evening we will drive home from Three Creeks. The terrain will be ungroomed, rolling to gentle slopes and will not be subject to avalanche danger. The two huts are fully stocked with food, beds, wood stove and cooking facilities. They provide sleeping bags as well; so you only need to carry a bag liner and your personal gear and clothing! We can’t anticipate the weather so the snow conditions could vary from untracked powder to icy and anything in-between.

Since the distance between huts is only 8 miles there should be time for additional skiing & exploring opportunities. Participants should be familiar with route finding skills and use of a GPS, however a GPS is not required.

Trip Limit: 8, including 2 leaders.

Cost: $270 per person, includes a shuttle, two nights in huts, food for 2 days & 2 nights with beer included! (see web link above for “what’s included”) Additional expenses will be carpooling transportation expense and food & lodging in Sisters the night before.
