I will be in Sisters, Oregon next Tuesday (6/27) for a forestry meeting. I am interested in driving from Sisters to Pole Creek Trailhead on 6/28 and hiking/climbing to the Middle Sister/North Sister Col. Does anyone here know if the road is open to the trailhead? And the condition of trail?
Thanks,
Scott

Per Sisters Ranger Station Pole Creek Road is open to Pole Creek trailhead. The trail is open for 2 miles (roughly 5700 ft elevation) before a wall of snow.

I drove out Pole Creek Road (Hwy15 from Sisters) on Wed, May 28 to the the Pole Creek Trailhead. Hiked south on Green Lakes Trail for 2 miles to Soap Creek. Crossed four or five braids of water to this fast moving creek, but kept boots dry by walking across small logs over the stream. I then switched onto the trail to Camp Lake and Chambers Lake. At around 6500' I started to walk over snow patches. I left trail and proceeded up hill for another 500' to around 7000 foot elevation. Just did not have the energy today and my boots were failing (hole in sole) so I decided to turn around. Hope to get back here in future.
