I suggest everyone follows tribal regulations. As far as I understand things from the Warm Springs website, I acted in accordance with their regulations at the time. That is of course subject to change, and it is possible even at the time I misunderstood regulations.

I "ran" a good loop around Jefferson in the spirit of Mts Hood, St Helens, and Adams, which have standard loops. I did this in trail running shoes and no special gear, but the East side feels very mountaineerish below Whitewater. My sense from the total lack of cairns, bivy sites, etc. over there is that nobody really goes over there, but it is a great route that I think deserves some use from other trail runner types.
