South Sister Summit, Oregon

Watch all 3 summits on the Three Sisters Trilogy:
• The Three Sisters Trilogy
In this video we summit the third tallest mountain in Oregon, the South Sister. Though it is tallest, it is the easiest of the Three Sisters. There is no technical climbing, the only difficulty is how long of an uphill hike it is. The hike from Devils Lake Trailhead is 12 mile round trip with almost 5000 feet elevation gain. The mountain is also very crowded because it is so accessible for all. I had a fun swim at about 8800 feet up, people thought I was crazy.

Hiked this 50 yrs ago and know what it looked like then. This clearly has many, many more visitors compared to 1972 but the overall beauty remains. This was the best video I watched out of 6. Thanks, it brought back many Good memories.

Hey Matt! Love your videos. I’m relocating to Oregon from Missouri soon and your videos have been super helpful researching hikes/summits in the state. I’m particularly excited to give south sister a try!

“Unexpectedly be in the middle of a blizzard” And no tea kettle nearby. This is so far beyond my capacities. Absolutely incredible. Binge watching your channel shows me how unprepared I am to live in Oregon country. Absolutely gobsmacked at how much natural wonder is here.

Excellent video.

Best video, thank you. This is an amazing, must-do hike for Oregonians. I remember that last 1,000 ft or so I was really sucking air. Coming down I got scree in boots so I made gaiters out of xtra socks. We went middle of week, less people. Camped at Devil's lake.

I've climbed many far bigger and more difficult mountains, but going up South Sister is always a joyful experience. It's such a perfect panorama at the top, and a very enjoyable climb.

Beautifully filmed and presented. What an insane view, but also really cool to see all the little details of the crater, lakes, etc all hiding up there, imperceptible to those of us who only view it from below. I'm no mountain climber but I could

I looked and looked for a video like this! Great job. It is challenging to drive hours to do a new hike and not know all the details. This was so well done!
