!SNOW SHOE! POTATO HILL LOOP TRAIL, MODERATE MILES (TBD)
Details
I wanted to do this last year and didn't have the time. This is going to be the loop trail and as a collective we will decide how far to go. Weather permitting. CARAVAN IS RECOMMENDED. I'm keeping the head count low on this event because of the distance and type of snow shoe.
Relatively experienced preferred as this is considered MODERATE but in the snow everything can be CHALLENGING so please know your limitations before signing up. Be prepared, Come prepared.
Snow shoes, Yak tracks, proper snow shoes, 10 essentials, water, snacks, dress in layers, poles, sunscreen and warmers.
NO DOGS PLEASE.
Length 5.9 mi Elevation gain 1,125 ft Route type Loop
Explore this 5.9-mile loop trail near Sisters, Oregon. Generally considered a moderately challenging route, it takes an average of 2 h 52 min to complete. This trail is great for cross-country skiing, hiking, and snowshoeing, and it's unlikely you'll encounter many other people while exploring. The best times to visit this trail are December through March.

ATTENDING EVENTS
Please read the entire event description before signing up and only sign-up for events within your capabilities.
All events have an attendee limit. Attendee limits are determined by the nature of the event and the number of Event Hosts attending an event.
Events fill-up quickly. Members are encouraged to download the Meetup app to receive notifications for events as soon as they are posted.
When an event is full (reached its attendee limit), you may be assigned to the Waitlist. If spots open up, members are automatically RSVPed to the event in the order that they joined the Waitlist. Please be patient if you’re on the Waitlist. It's common for the head count to fall as an event gets closer, and most likely you will be RSVPed.
If you are unable to attend an event, please unRSVP no later than 24-hours prior to the event. This allows members on the Waitlist to be RSVPed.
If you are unable to attend an event the day of the event, please contact the Event Host as soon as possible. Otherwise, the Event Host may proceed with the event without you.
No shows will be marked as such and after three no shows you will be a “no go.”
