South Sister is the the 3rd tallest volcano in Oregon State after Mt. Hood and Mt. Jefferson. It was me and Ian Lance. We climbed the mountain on June 22, 2024 in full snow which made it more challenging. Without snow, we did it in August 2023 and it was a piece of cake! Not this time. The mosquitoes were extremely annoying in the lower mountain and we had to kick a lot of steps. The views from the top were stunning. You could see 12 other volcanoes while standing on the 13th one (South Sister). Volcanoes you can see from South Sister on a clear day:
1 Middle Sister
2 North Sister
3 Mt. Washington
4 Mt. Jefferson
5 Mt. Hood
6 Mt. Adams
7 Mt. Saint Helens
8 Mt. Bachelor
9 Broken Top
10 Diamond Peak
11 Mt. Thielsen
12 Mt. Mcloughlin
