Bend, us
Thanks to Pamela S, we now have 12 permits for this hike!
There will also be a Repeat hike on a future date TBD when I can get permits for that one.
THE HIKE: 10 miles, 1,200 vertical feet, moderate pace.
This is a fun "lollipop loop" hike which has a lot to offer: beautiful Todd Lake, forest paths, vistas above tree line, streams, springs, stunning views into the Broken Top crater, and some irrigation features from the early 1900s. We will also do a little off-trail navigation where you can learn or practice map and compass skills if desired. Lots of good water available along the way. We'll take a 30 minute break for lunch.
Also check out other Trips & Adventurous Activities in Bend.
Tickets for Todd Lake, Base of Broken Top Crater, Crater Ditch can be booked here.
