Heading out to Three Sisters Wilderness next week from East Coast. Can anyone give me a weather update for the area? Snow on ground? Also, NF website mentions seasonal closure of Hwy 242 on Nov 1-does this mean the entire hwy or just sections of it? Thanks, Torin

You would think that after time spent in the mountains, I would have figured this out but I wanted to query for any advice. I hate lashing my snowshoes to my pack when hiking in from lower elevations-I have used bungee cords, expletives in 30 different languages, straps, etc. but they still bang around and never seem totally secure until on my feet. Does anyone have a better storage system/advice? Also, any route suggestions for Middle Sister from the East-my climbing partner has some okay experience (early intermediate, I guess) and have been trying to figure out a reasonably challenging but not overwhelming route choice. Thanks, Torin

Thanks for the insight, glad to hear snow is falling in the mountains already. Torin

Was wondering if anyone could provide a little advice/answer some questions. Planning a nice trip to Three Sisters Wilderness 1st week of November-planning on climbing North, Middle, South and Broken Top in that order pending weather/conditions, etc. Had a couple of questions that I would appreciate anyone expressing their opinion: 1. What is the best side to approach from-East or West? and which trailhead would you leave car at. 2. Does the Federal Interagency Pass cover access to the area? 3. Any recommended camping locations? What are the camping regulations/costs? Thanks. Torin Fitton
