South Sister Summit Climb | Oregon's Third Highest Peak

I summited South Sister (Oregon's third highest peak) in mid-August via the South Sister Climber Trail #36. Follow two mountaineers (Evan and Lisa) summit South Sister in one day. The trail was about 12 miles roundtrip with 5450 feet of elevation gain. It had been very smoky around Bend, Oregon, but we got a break and were able to ascend without the smoke.

Oh man, looked like a fun one, always fun to get into those wide open valleys..ha yeah, but not when the sun is baking! Way to rock it!

[@WithinHikingDistance]

That was a fun hike. It was warm but not too bad at the higher elevation.

Another amazing and beautiful climb. The view from the summit just absolutely gorgeous. 🤠

Thanks for watching. The view from the top was great and definitely worth the climb.

[@NicoleHikesalot]

amazing climb! The views were so beautiful and the Teardrop Lake was stunning. I am glad you had a smoke free day for this hike!

[@WithinHikingDistance]

Yes, we got lucky with having a smoke-free day. It actually turned pretty smoky when we had completed the hike and driving out of the area.

[@MyTravelChannel-RO]

Beautiful videography, stunning landscapes! Amazing hiking at the top of the mountains!! Congratulations, my friend, for your work! 😊 Have a wonderful day! Cordial greetings! 👍

[@WithinHikingDistance]

Thank you so much 😀

[@TravelSmallLiveBig]

Gorgeous views from up there! Glad the smoke gave you a break. Looks like a tough one with the loose lava rocks and elevation gain - yikes! Great job Evan & Lisa!

[@WithinHikingDistance]

Thanks! It was a tough but enjoyable hike.

[@elflordsjourneys]

Killer climb, awesome views, ❤OREGON

[@Bin7Penjelajah]

good sharing my friend, wonderful place

[@WithinHikingDistance]

Thanks for visiting

[@waterfallmadman]

Looks like a great hike, one even I could do. 😎

[@WithinHikingDistance]

Yes, it was a great hike. It was not technical, so anybody can do it if they're up for a long day of hiking.

[@whattovisitinromania5044]

Amazing climbing, the mountains are amazing! Beautiful weather also! 😍❤️⛰️👌

[@WithinHikingDistance]

Thanks! It was a great hike and we lucked out with the weather.

[@thenaturemanadventures]

[@WithinHikingDistance]

Glad you enjoyed it! It was an amazing hike with incredible views.

[@gtbpiano]

Awesome! Going to attempt this hike this weekend!

[@WithinHikingDistance]

Have fun!

[@adventureswithLK]

Another really awesome summit hike. The views all along they way were pretty amazing. This is all practice for Everest though.....right.

[@WithinHikingDistance]

Glad you enjoyed it! We'll see what future adventures I end up doing 😊

[@CreatorManush]

I love your videos❤️ I m so happy that I have found ur channel 😀❤️

[@WithinHikingDistance]

Thank you so much!!

[@KathysOutdoorAdventures]

What an absolutely beautiful place to hike! Thank you for taking me along with you. Thats a ton of elevation gain in such a short time. Great job! I missed watching your videos. I had to take a few months off due to work (I'm in the medical field) and life gets busy. Will catch up on your videos!

[@WithinHikingDistance]

The views were stunning! This is a great hike, I think you would enjoy it. I hope you will be able to get on adventures soon and take some time for yourself. Thank you, Kathy!

[@cookingwithnezha4831]

veideo toop neice 👍💙💚💛

[@WithinHikingDistance]

Thanks!

[@adventuringoutdoorswitheric]

Yeah that does definitely look like it's a bit challenging! You gain a lot of elevation in such a short period of time! It also looks really slippery so luckily you guys had hiking poles with you. That's awesome that the smoke cleared up for the most part and you had amazing views especially at the top! Another awesome summit 👏. Thanks for sharing your adventure with all of us!

[@WithinHikingDistance]

Thanks Eric. Yes, we got lucky with the conditions.

[@ZENderista]

The landscape and views is impressive! The climb was a steep but totally worth it. Is it tough carrying the cameras in such hikes?

[@WithinHikingDistance]

Just saw your comment. I have a pretty lightweight setup for carrying my cameras. I have a GoPro in my side pocket and a larger mirrorless camera fits in my water holder on my shoulder. It's great when I'm going for longer hikes or mountaineering.

[@ZENderista]

@@WithinHikingDistance Good combination!

[@michaelhayes3707]

I'm planning on hiking up South Sister for the 1st time on Saturday, August 6th! I just got my pass for it. Your video was very helpful and interesting, thanks!

[@WithinHikingDistance]

Glad the video was helpful! Enjoy your climb 🏔️

[@michaelhayes3707]

I hiked up and summited South Sister! It was a great day weather wise on Saturday. That hike was both challenging and rewarding. The red scree at the end was so tough haha. But so I'm glad I did it!

[@SergeCousineau]

Great hike on that volcano with awesome view ! Congratulations for this other achievement 👏 It’s been a while seeing you and it was great to see you again Say hello to Alexandra and little man 😉 Serge H&S 👩‍❤️‍👨🌈🇨🇦

[@WithinHikingDistance]

[@SergeCousineau]

[@WithinHikingDistance]

Hi Chris. Thanks for watching! Another great hike in Oregon.

[@joey.liberatore]

Any tips on what gear I would need for this hike? Wonderful video!

[@WithinHikingDistance]

For South Sister, just regular hiking gear: good pair of shoes, water, food, sunblock, and other hiking essentials. You can do it in a day.

[@romanandfizah]

Such great video guys, awesome footage and trendy ! Happy to connect, new subscribers from Malaysia & France 😊

[@chittichittiaatalu9297]

Wonderful sharing ❤️😍 New friend here please stay connected 👍👍👍👍

[@WithinHikingDistance]

Thank you!

[@skrmnghrd4520]

Any qater source I could filter when hiking it?

[@WithinHikingDistance]

Yes, there's a couple water sources along the hike. There's a stream near the beginning and you'll pass by the Lewis Glacier Cirque Lake about 3/4 mile from the top. Have fun.

[@ttvjackriot7734]

What month was this in?

[@WithinHikingDistance]

I think that was in August
