Hearty Soles - Wickiup Plain Loop Trail and Moraine Lake

Wickiup Plain Loop Trail and Moraine Lake

When: Tuesday, August 11, 8 am-2 pm

Info : We will meet at the Sunriver Country Store parking lot and pull out at 8 am. Bring $4 for the driver. This hike will be open to 12 participants BUT is dependent on securing the needed wilderness permits. Participants will be notified a week in advance re: the number of permits secured. If less than 12 permits are secured hikers will be offered a spot on the hike based on the order of registration.

Description: This roughly 7 mile loop hike has about 1,400 feet of elevation gain and starts at the Devils Lake Trailhead in the Three Sisters Wilderness. The first 2.5 miles are a gradual ascent through coniferous forests and alpine meadows with views of South Sister. This first 2.5 miles will knock out about half of the elevation gain. The last mile or so is a push to the top where you will definitely get your cardio in. But it’s only for a little more than a mile and then you will get your recovery as we descend to Moraine Lake. We will rest on the shore of this beautiful, little, alpine lake before heading back. The return side of loop is a bit shorter and steeper than the ascent but it is all downhill.

Recent reviews on AllTrails say that the trail is good and well maintained.

When considering signing up for this event, please review the specifics (e.g. distance, elevation gain, trail surface - gravel, rocky, soft sand etc.) to determine if this event matches your fitness level.

Hike Pace = 1-2 (moderate to moderate and challenging). Due to the incline for the last mile or so to the top and the steeper decline on the way back this could be a bit challenging for some. It will be a moderately paced hike. We will take breaks as needed. It will be August and the sun can be strong so be sure to hydrate before, during and after the hike!

Gear: Bring the usual…sunscreen, bug spray, hat, water, snacks, lunch, $ for carpooling, hiking poles and sturdy hiking shoes. Drivers will need a NW Forest Pass.
