[pct-l] Sisters Wilderness

[BobRob .]

I did about 25 miles around Sisters on the 4th of July.  We took the PCT from Santiam pass up towards 3 finger Jack and hit snow after the burn, snow was constant and deep 3' -5' obviously no trail to follow.   The next day we took off from McKenzie pass and went south towards North Sisters. Hit snow drifts about 1 mile in. After South Matthieu lake it was constant deep snow again 3' - 5' with some 10' drifts.
It's been scorching hot since then so it will melt fast, but a lot of snow to melt...
