[pct-l] Santiam Pass to Mt Hood

[wandering_bob at comcast.net (Bob Bankhead)]

Peter:

Greyhound will get you to Sisters from Portland via Eugene. $29 one way fare. You might possibly talk (or bribe) the driver into letting you off at Santiam Pass, but don't count on it. You can hitch back to the pass from Sisters, about 13 miles. Should be an easy hitch. 

Greyhound schedule 1439
Leave Portland 7:15am
Arrive Sisters 12:40 pm
Travel time 5 hours 25 minutes - this includes a 10 minute lay-over and a bus change in Eugene. That's awfully tight even if the bus from Portland is on time. There's only one bus per day from Eugene to Sisters. 

A better bet is to ask on this list. You might find someone local willing to give you a ride. How about it folks, anyone who can help Peter?



Ollalie Lake Resort will no longer accept packages for PCT hikers.

  I've been off the list for a few months, so thiis may have been touched on. 
  I plan to hike the trail from Santiam Pass to Mt. Hood in mid-Sept., which I 
  estimate to be 100 miles. Questions:

  1. How might I best get to the trai? It seems to be about the same 40 or so 
  miles from Bend or Eugene.

  2.  Is the Olallie Lake Resort still a viable place to send parcels? If so, 
  would it still be so in late Sept.?

  Any info would be much appreciated.
