Last week’ hike was around the east side of Jack<\/a> on Old Summit trail to Canyon Creek Meadows. Yesterday’s hike went around the WEST side of Jack on PCT from Santiam Pass to Wasco Lake at Minto Pass. Between the two hikes I hiked completely around Jack both directions except the .9 mile between Wasco and Canyon Meadows Creek Trail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Route<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Parked at Santiam Pass PCT TH and left at 6:00 with headlamp. NOBO on PCT to Minto Pass and down to Wasco Lake for lunch. Turned around and repeated the same arriving back at car around 3:00. Trail conditions were perfect. Human traffic was minimal and 1 stock party (2 horses) around Wasco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
