Bend to Government Camp

Trail video from our latest section. After a day off in Bend, we got back on trail at Elk Lake. Later in the evening a fire broke out a few miles west of the trail. It was hot, dry, and smoky for a couple days but fortunately the weather turned cooler and we had a few days of rain. Fire danger and air quality have both improved significantly.

In my head I affectionately refer to it as “Oregon’s Lake District,” specifically the roughly 50 miles between Odell Lake to Elk lake, miles 1907-1953 on the PCT. Over these miles we have…
