Summary[edit]

Description

Our snow season lasted a nice long time this year. We were taking a trip to Sisters, Oregon and were shocked at how much snow was still in the Santiam Pass. While the pass was known by native peoples, the first recorded crossing of the pass was in April 1859 by an expedition searching for a cattle trail over the Cascade Range from the Willamette Valley to Central Oregon. This expedition was led by Andrew Wiley, who reportedly climbed a tall tree on a mountain near Lost Prairie to help determine the route. Lost Prairie is located along Hackleman Creek between Fish Lake and Tombstone Prairie. Wiley later helped establish the Santiam Wagon Road.

Santiam Pass is a 4,817-foot (1,468 m) mountain pass in the Cascade Range in central Oregon.
