    Tips

    August 25, 2022

    On your way along the Timberline or Pacific Crest Trail you will go up and down some canyons. One of them is Sandy Canyon which lives up to its name.

      July 12, 2023

      This sandy section of the trail will challenge your surefootedness. Your feet may sink into the sand slightly. Otherwise, it is relatively easy terrain. The best part of this portion of the trail is anticipating what lies ahead. From here, you can catch views of the majestic mountains that surround the area.
