This year marks the 60th anniversary of the Wilderness Act, the gold standard for public lands protections in the U.S. Join Oregon Wild in celebrating this historic milestone by hiking to the scenic Lucky Lake in the Three Sisters Wilderness. This trail gradually climbs through an ancient forest of hemlocks, true firs, and lodgepole pine before reaching the clear lake which provides views of the Three Sisters and Broken Top mountain. We will also hike to Blue Lagoon, a lush meadow near the headwaters of the Deschutes River, and learn about Oregon Wild’s ongoing efforts to protect this area and other rivers across Oregon.
Carpools will be available from Bend.
The goal of Oregon Wild’s outdoor program is to connect our supporters to the places we work to protect and conserve. Our guided hikes and outings are led by staff members with experience in our conservation campaigns, knowledge about the natural world, and a passion for Oregon’s wild places and wildlife. Our programs offer an educational experience and a connection to advocacy for the places we visit. We strive to make our outdoor programs inviting and safe for everyone.
Your hike leader will get you additional information with specifics about a meeting time and location, difficulty level, and any other details about your hike after you register.
