Descending PRISTINE & IMMACULATE ALPINE Three Sisters Wilderness! | Broken Top | 4K | Central Oregon
This twelfth segment hikes down the pristine and immaculate alpine wonderland that is Three Sisters Wilderness with views of Mount Bachelor & Broken Top Mountains! This is quintessential Central Oregon!
This was a 14-mile, 2600 FT Elevation Gain Day-Hike in Central Oregon, Three Sisters Wilderness, Deschutes National Forest, starting at Todd Trailhead and hiking to No Name Lake, Bend Glacier, & the Broken Top Zone as an EPIC Out and Back hike (PLEASE NOTE - this would be considered the "Longer Version" hike to get to No Name Lake & Bend Glacier from the South aka Todd Trailhead. You can also get to this destination by taking the "Shorter Version", Broken Top Trail. I prefer to do the longer version because it captures several very gorgeous and majestic sections of Three Sisters Wilderness that you wouldn't otherwise traverse if doing the shorter, more direct route. This entire section of Three Sisters Wilderness is a bit of a premium Alpine Wonderland, so why not capture it all is my perspective - to each their own of course. Lastly, I would mention that you can also get to No Name Lake & Bend Glacier from the East by means of Tam McArthur Rim Trail (permit required at Recreation.gov), I have that whole hike captured here as well in a separate Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLuGUSVzluAAmGSHgRwFLJprD8gBfZG53P
The East Tam McArthur Rim approach and longer Todd Trailhead South approach are my two recommended hikes out of the three).
This is one of my favorite hikes in all of Oregon, featuring my favorite Alpine Cirque Lake (No Name Lake), my favorite mountain (Broken Top), and my favorite Wilderness Area (Three Sisters). The hike starts at 6100 FT and your highest point is around 8200 FT. Due to the elevation range, this hike is only accessible around 10 weeks or so a year give or take based on the annual snowfall, from around 8/1 - 10/15, what I colloquially refer to as the "Alpine Window". I would recommend doing this earlier in the day (starting at sunrise if possible) with fluids on your person because large parts of this hike are fully exposed to the sun. The temperature was high 30's in the morning with a high in the low 70's in the heart of the day. This was hiked on 10/12/2022 and there were no mosquitoes (they are typically gone sometime in late August or September).
