Deschutes River Hike: March 30th-April 1st: 22 total miles Class B

This is our 5th annual Deschutes River Back Pack. We will drive to Mack's Canyon. We will pay a shuttle driver to take our cars to the mouth of the Deschutes. The fewer cars the better. Cost per car for shuttle is $100. This will be divided between all hikers. We will back pack 6 miles day one, 6 miles day 2 and 10 miles out on Sunday Day 3. Day one there will be some mild up and down hiking in and out of old collapsed railroad culverts. Day 2 we will reach the Harris Ranch. Day three is an easy 10 mile hike out on a road with gentle down hill grade. We have a nice open barn we can chill in and build fire in old burning barrel. Nice place out of the rain and wind. There is room for some camping in the open barn. Bring your own food. Bring warm clothes; long johns, hats, gloves, rain gear, etc, tent, sleeping bag, winter insulated pads, camp stove, first aid kit, water bottles. Be prepared to hang food as we have encountered bears.
