Three Sisters Wilderness

Popular recreational activities in the Three Sisters Wilderness include camping, hiking, mountain climbing, and fishing. Covering 281,190 total acres, there are approximately 260 miles of hiking trail within the wilderness boundaries, making it the second largest wilderness area in Oregon. The well-known Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail crosses 40 miles of the wilderness. The wilderness is home to some of the most famous and majestic mountains in the Cascades, with major peaks of the North, Middle, and South Sisters (all above 10,000 feet), along with Broken Top. There are 14 glaciers offering one of the best examples of the effects of glaciation in the Pacific Northwest. Collier Glacier, between North and Middle Sister, is the largest glacier in Oregon. The forests range from dense cover to true old growth and include douglas fir, western hemlock, lodgepole pine, ponderosa pine, and subalpine fir. One of the most popular hiking trails in the Three Sisters Wilderness is Green Lakes starting at the Soda Creek Trailhead. The Green Lakes Trail offers hikers an awe-inspiring trek through the Three Sisters Wilderness Area, touring many miles of waterfalls, acres of alpine meadows filled with wildflowers, and the beautiful Green Lakes themselves, which offer breathtaking views of South Sister, Broken Top, and Mt. Bachelor.
