gapertimmy gapertimmy spray'prentice Registered: 10/28/00 Posts: 4477 Loc: YARRRR	sk8ting- In the winter to get to the falls you need to either ski, snowshoe or snowmobile a few miles from the snowpark. In the summer, the falls are drive-up access. There are groomed trails for all user types (nordic trails and snowmo trails). The road to the upper snow park can be dicey at times as it isn't plowed often or very well. -timmy _________________________ timmy... the champagne of gapers

ClimbingPanther ClimbingPanther veteran Registered: 07/21/05 Posts: 1516 Loc: Paradise	and sick of being tired? poor thing, catch-22 hey Timmay, can you suggest a worthwhile free alternative to x-c'ing at Bachelor? I go there every year w/ my good friend (trip coming up Prez Day weekend), but if there's good scenery to be had for free, I'm all about that. _________________________ All Snaffles Go To Heaven

gapertimmy gapertimmy spray'prentice Registered: 10/28/00 Posts: 4477 Loc: YARRRR	Panther- You have tons of options to turn off the road to bachy and get some more scenic-remote schussing in. Depending on how long you want to ski for, or what type of terrain you guys want to ski on would be useful to making some recommendations. From Bachelor's Lot you can ski down the shared coridor to the Cascade Lakes Highway from there you can go pretty much anywhere: Todd Lake, Brokentop, Sparks Lake etc. On the way to Bachelor you also pass 3 snoparks on the north side of the road that boast miles of XC trails. Outside of the Cascade Lakes Highway, you also have trail corridors South of Sisters (Three Creeks Lake), Paulina, and points North like Santiam Pass. So take the $ you'd spend on a bachy trail pass, buy a Nordic Map at Pine Mountain Sports off Century Drive and go explore. _________________________ timmy... the champagne of gapers

treknclime treknclime enthusiast Registered: 03/24/04 Posts: 233 Loc: slack's ville	Tam Mcarther ridge is a nice xc trip, too. If there are snow machines, it's a pain if they're running around...at least untill the wilderness boundry. Klindt Vielbig's xc book has a lot of worthy tours for the Bachy area.

Gidget Gidget enthusiast Registered: 05/11/02 Posts: 203 Loc: Bend OveR	We were in the area yesterday 12/22/06 and snapped this of Mckay falls. We were not sure how far in Paulina was and after about 3 miles turned around. We saw twin falls also which is smaller and flowing a bit more. I was wondering if hwy 242 is closed in winter and if so what mile mark it is clsed at. Linton Falls looked like something that might be promising? How about proxy Falls? Any Idea on getting to these? _________________________ It's like Russian Roulette, more fun to watch than to play.

Johnny_R Johnny_R stranger Registered: 08/03/04 Posts: 10 Loc: Farewellbend	gapertimmy - Ah - memories of Paulina when it "tries" to come into condition. There's a pic of a very wet top-rope session from a few years back at http://www.flickr.com/photos/52556861@N00/323469716/in/set-72157594272820248/ for those who might be curious as to what it looks like when it is sort of climbable. This pic is of a section to the very far climbers left of the falls away from the main flow where, in your last pic, the ice has yet to really form let alone touch. Wet, wet, wet but fun, fun, fun. _________________________ God couldn't be reached for comment
