    Tips

    Hiking

    The Green Lakes are a popular spot for a hike into the Three Sisters Wilderness. Enjoy the stunning colors of the crystal clear lakes. If you are (a lot) more adventurous, you can extend you hike and summit Broken Top via the ridgeline from the northwestern side (this is a T4 trail next to the top).

    Hiking

    The western edge of the basin is a predominantly grassy marsh, but there are designated campsites sprinkled around all three lakes on the eastern side if you are spending the night. It is an excellent base camp for exploring the high-elevation slopes of the Three Sisters Wilderness.

    Running

    Enjoy the crystal clear water of these three alpine lakes nestled between the trees and mountains of Three Sisters Wilderness. If you are looking for an even more strenuous outing, you can summit Broken Top via the northwestern ridge. Note that this is a T4 trail and requires sure footedness and experience trail running!
