CLOSED: Forestry Closure Update - FULL WEST SIDE CLOSURE begins 12/11.
The west side of the park will be completely closed for forest health mitigation until further notice (~mid-2024, weather-dependent). The west trailhead parking lot will remain open for access to the south. Trails impacted by closure: Mountain Muhly Trail, Bearberry Trail, Homestead Trail, Silver Fox Trail, Ponderosa Trail, and the majority of Sisters Trail. 2023 ALD Forestry - a map of the Second Segment Closure (PDF) can be found through the link above.
The eastern side of the park and trailhead have reopened following completed forestry work in that area.
Description
At the junction of the Sisters and Hidden Fawn Trails is a small gathering of boulders, and the bulk of the climbing appears to be on just two of them. The Elephant Boulder, so named because it looks like a pachyderm from just about any angle, hosts several quality problems. Across from it is another boulder I have been calling the Arch Boulder, so named for the obvious feature arching over to the next nearest rock. At least one fun, steep problem is on the Arch. This is a very worthwhile place to stop and unfurl the pads.
Getting There
Hike up the Sisters Trail for not even a mile to the junction of the Hidden Fawn Trail. Obvious rocks.
