John Day Back Pack: Class A. Total miles12+

We will meet on Friday morning to drive to Cottonwood Canyon State Park. We will back pack the three miles down river to the pinnacles and set up a camp somewhere along the river. On Saturday we will hike 3 miles back to the camp ground and then another 3 miles up river and camp. We can day hike to the top of the ridge if desired. On Sunday we can hike out and do a day hike on the south east side of the river; approximately 6 miles round trip. The park has a great history display. Full of relics from the past and sun shine. Bring your own food, warm clothes, rain gear, tent, warm sleeping bag, insulated pad, gloves, hat, long johns. I believe we can have a fire, but I will research that. There are river otters, eagles, hawks, snakes, deer, mountain sheep. A beautiful are to explore. If you cannot make it Friday, we can plan to meet up with you on Saturday morning.
Cost is for car pooling.
