Hello:
Offering 2 days for $80 total at the Hager Mountain fire lookout, which is near Silver Lake, Oregon, about 90 minutes south of Bend. This is the fire lookout: www.recreation.gov/camping/campgrounds/234187
Ski or snowshoe 4 miles/2100 feet of elevation gain along the National Recreation Trail to get to Hager Mt. Lookout. In the winter, please check with the Silver Lake Ranger District for snow conditions to determine the best method of access prior to departure. This rugged, winter destination awaits the most enthusiastic outdoor adventurers as it is only accessible by foot, snowshoes or skis. Skiing or snowshoeing can take from a couple of hours to half a day or more, depending on weather conditions and one’s physical endurance. Travel into remote locations in the winter requires experience and advance preparation. Expect windy conditions.
