Wednesday Hike: Tam McArthur Rim (24 Jun 2026)

Wed, 24 Jun 2026 15:00:00 GMT

We will hike from the trailhead at Three Creeks Lake up to Tam McArthur Rim in the Three Sisters Wilderness to the scenic overlook and on up towards Broken Hand. This is a beautiful hike that reaches elevations of over 7,700 ft, so there may still be some snow, but it is a well-trodden path and will not be difficult hiking. Mosquitos could be pesky at the trailhead, but will be much reduced as we get up the trail.

Distance: 8.2 miles RT. Plan on spending 7-8 hours including drive time to/from the trailhead.

Elevation gain/loss: 1,500 feet of elevation gain.

What to bring: Ten essentials, water, snack/lunch, and proper footwear (no tennis shoes or sandals). Dogs are not allowed on this hike.

Difficulty level: Intermediate-Difficult

Number of hikers: 11 maximum (I have a wilderness permit for 11 people).

Carpooling: Carpooling can be arranged at the meeting place. It is about a 40 min drive to the trailhead. If you ride with someone, please donate to their gas fund.

Meeting time/place: 8:00 am. Meet at the parking lot between Petsmart and Ashley Furniture in Cascade Center. Petsmart is located at 63455 N Hwy 97, Bend, OR 97701, right off of NW Robal Lane and across from Costco. The trip leader will be driving a brown Ford truck.
