South Sister - Hiking - Everytrail
I want to climb South Sister this summer, hopefully with Merlyn. I searched the web with the string "south sister gps track" and got this site as my first hit. Everytrail allowed me to download this users GPS data as a .GPX file and open it in Google Earth. GE did not have this detail of information as part of its native data set, but it easily let me view this person's data. Wow! Although the source is not "official" it appears to be accurate and in a general sense is extremely helpful to me for planning my climb. If I am to climb with an 11 year old, I want to know as much as I can in advance. Merlyn and I will train on local trails. We should be able to easily handle 6-7 miles in the lowlands without great complaints before tackling the 12 mile "marathon" of South Sister.
This Everytrail site is helpful. I want to explore it more!
