Weekend Backpack in Oregon's Blue Mountains, Strawberry Range

Описание: The Strawberry Range is s beautiful part of the Blue Mountains. The range includes the second highest peak in the Blue Mountains topping out at over 9,000 feet. (Only Rock Creek Butte in the Elkhorn Mountains is higher.) Much of the Strawberry Range lies within the Strawberry Mountain Wilderness which was one of the original wilderness areas designated under the 1965 Wilderness Act.

We last did this backpack over 30 years ago in 1991 before several large fires beginning with the Wildcat Fire in 1996 and the Canyon Creek Fire of 2015 burned much of the wilderness. Happy to say that there are pockets that remained more or less untouched by the fires (including the loop we did) so the experience was still great.
