the Forest's boundary, and the Cascade mountains offer
virtually endless recreation opportunities such as developed
campgrounds, trails, Scenic Byways, snow activities and ski
resorts. Most of the trails and sites listed below are

There are approximately 260 miles of trail within the
wilderness. The Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail
traverses the wilderness for 40 miles. Alpine meadows,
waterfalls, lava fields, glaciers, and glacial lakes are
abundant. Most trails entering the wilderness begin in dense
forests of Douglas-fir on the western slopes of the Cascades
and ponderosa pine on the eastern slopes. The North and
Middle Sisters are technical climbs over 10,000 ft. The
South Sister is more accessible, with hundreds of people
climbing to the 10,358 ft. peak with no special gear in the
