klenke Posted July 30, 2003 Posted July 30, 2003 Just a little FYI: New name for Newberry Crater Quote
Dan_Harris Posted July 30, 2003 Posted July 30, 2003 Camped at Paulina Lake a couple of weeks ago. No real climbing but a neat place. The article mentions magma a ways down. If you dig down in the sand along the north shore of Paulina Lake, the hole quickly fills with warm water. Was also wondering if anyone has skied or snowshoed in during the winter. Are there too many snowmobiles to make it worthwhile? How about a winter hike / ski up Paulina Peak? Quote

If that were the case I would be there in under 2 hours Quote
bunglehead Posted July 30, 2003 Posted July 30, 2003 "Mount" Bachelor was once known as Bachelor Butte. Grab an old district map from the early 80's and take a gander. Quote
iain Posted July 30, 2003 Posted July 30, 2003 I am still struggling to summit the ominous Mt. Bachelor, but I have summited both Mt. Pilot and Mt. Black nearby. Quote
Dan_Harris Posted July 30, 2003 Posted July 30, 2003 Iain, sorry to get your hopes up. My daughter and I only dug down about a foot and half. You could try digging deeper. Quote
bunglehead Posted July 30, 2003 Posted July 30, 2003 Oh yeah, Pilot Butte used to be Pivot Butte, and Bend was originally called Farewell Bend. Quote
Dru Posted July 30, 2003 Posted July 30, 2003 And Boring is soon to be renamed This Place Blows Chunks in the modern spirit Quote
Ursa_Eagle Posted August 5, 2003 Posted August 5, 2003 perhaps they'll rename Ball Butte, then my four-day ascent this past spring will be even more heroic! Quote

How about a winter hike / ski up Paulina Peak? the north facing chutes on paulina are some of the steepest shots in most of OR, folks ski them frequently and has an easy snomo aidied approach. have i skied them? nope, too steep for my puss ass as of yet, but they look wicked!

Fejas Posted August 5, 2003 Posted August 5, 2003 They can't be that steep timmy, YOU CAN DO IT!!!! Quote

Timmy, I am a wimp skier. I was thinking of coming up next spring for a snow camp and snow shoe hike up the peak. I am not real fond of hiking along with snowmobiles though. I know the Sisters would be better, Paulina was just a thought. Quote
gapertimmy Posted August 5, 2003 Posted August 5, 2003 dan you can find much more solitude in the sisters wilderness, as well as a wider varitey of stuff to ski, lemme know when you are coming! Quote
