Sahalie and Koosah Falls

Reviewed By AnitaH489 - Lodi, United States

We have vacationed in the Sisters area a couple times over the recent years and included this hike on our itineraries. Our friends actually hired a limosine the first time we went there as we were all on bicycles and without cars. We went back this summer because it's close to Sisters, it's an easy hike for a rest day off the bike and the scenery and falls are beautiful.

Tam McArthur Rim Trail

Reviewed By Brittany_11_10 - Los Angeles, United States

We started at Three Creeks Trail and went counter clockwise on the Broken Top Loop trail, so I suppose we only came down Tam McArthur Rim Trail as opposed to doing it as an out-and-back, but it was a nice walk and I wouldn't say too difficult. There is some scree hiking--if you choose the west side--(the other side was more of a hard-packed trail), but even then it was okay.  The views along the way are nice, but the views from the top are stunning; definitely try to make it to the top if you can!  You can park at Three Creeks Lake and easily find the trailhead, and from there, the path is easy to follow (minus the one section where you have a choice to take, mentioned above). It's worth it as well to check out No Name Lake, which you'll see from the top if you make it that far.  This trail is fairly exposed, so be sure to wear sunscreen and a hat. Not buggy at all in mid-August. It's a beautiful place to hike.

The Stitchin' Post

We are a quilt shop in the small western town of Sisters, OR. The store was founded in 1975 with a mission of providing education and inspiration to sewers and quilters. We have since added a large selection of natural fiber yarns and knitting supplies, as well as supplies for fiber arts, and our own Fiber Arts Gallery. History: Established in 1975. Jean Wells started the Stitchin Post in 1975 to provide quilting classes and sewing supplies. Over the years, the store has evolved into a place where inspiration and education thrive.

Great selection of fabric, yarn, notions and patterns. The sample quilts are wonderful for inspiration and ideas for your own quilts. Lots of lines of designer fabric to choose from. The store is the center of the activities for the annual Sisters Quilt Show during the 2nd week in July.
