- Watch all 3 summits on the Three Sisters Trilogy:
• The Three Sisters Trilogy
In this video I go to the summit of the Middle Sister. This is a dangerous task. Do not try this without mountain experience. I have been doing this for a long time. Before heading to the Middle Sister I suggest doing some easier ones such as South Sister and Diamond Peak. There is a lot of good wilderness camping in this area. The route this video takes is called East Pole Creek Trail. The trail goes to the base of the mountain and then circles around Hayden Glacier and Prouty Point. The final climb was very difficult. There were loose rocks and it was very steep. What mountain would you like to see next?
The week before I went to the summit of Broken Top:

Matt…another excellent video. Your my favorite story teller.
Thank you! The biggest missed opportunity in the three sisters trilogy is that I had a sandwich scene in south/middle, but only a second glimpse at North. North is all business.
Wow never knew butterflies flew so high and so many. Hope we get rains to help all the new growth, great views and knowledge of all the mountains. Cool..excellent video.😎🌲🌲
Thanks Jeffrey. Rain has been very rare here. Kinda feels like the state has been on fire for over a year now.
What a sweet location for a good hike up a mountain! Thanks for taking us along Matt. Can't say I've ever seen butterflies in that vast quantity before haha. Pretty crazy and cool. Hope all has been well - Shane
Thanks Shane. I am not sure what the deal with the butterflies was! Tried a little research and couldn't find much other than articles saying the orange winged butterflies came from California due to climate change.
A great video of your hike. I like the views climbing and sliding down the steep parts. A great view from the top. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Dave. These climbs were actually supposed to happen last year. But then the wildfires happened. Glad I got a chance this year.
Awesome video my friend! Thanks for sharing!
Stay Blessed!
Thanks! = )
i climbed this mountain in the 1980's . we made base camp at the meadows before obsidian falls and spent the night there .. we climbed up hayen glacier and decended renfrew glacier .. the loose rock was frustrating .. two steps forward and three steps back it seemed some times ..from the saddle you could look down into the crevases on the east side . i was surprised to see the forest fire damage in this video ..so sad we did use ice axes both in the acent and the decent we basically glacaded down renfrew on the decent .. that was great fun .. the view from the top was insurmountable. .. there was a book at the top to sign .. that surprised me also .. we made it up to the top and back to camp easily in one day ... i will never forget the joy of this whole tripl
'
That is awesome. Probably much more snow/ice in the 80s. I been up a few times and never noticed a book. Wonder where it went?
Excellent video, well done Matt!
Awesome. Coming from this guy? I must be doing something right.
Hey Matt, great job on the video. Congrats on summitting. Thanks for posting this. I look forward to watching more of your videos.
That is great to hear thank you. I am in the middle of editing another where I go up the two highest Wallowa peaks.
Beautifully shot. Gorgeous views. Loved the whole thing. Thank you for sharing this with us
Thanks. I enjoy the simplicity of these mountain climbing videos. Only one camera. Kinda easy to put together other than having to cut out hours of walking footage.
Excellent videography. Here in NH most of our summits are solid granite but we top out at just over 6,000 feet with Mount Washington . That loose rock looks tricky. Those butterflies were kinda crazy. Thanks for sharing
Awesome! We have a mt Washington too. Slightly taller than yours. Yeah this one sure is dangerous with the steep loose rock at the end. I grew up doing the mountains in this area so it is all very second nature to me.
Matt.Cook.Oregon Here in NH we have the Presidential Range with Mount Washington (6,288’) being the highest in the Northeast US, we also have Mt Adams (5,299’), Mt Jefferson (5,716’), Mt Monroe (5,372’), and Mt Madison (5,366’) rounding out our Top 5. Funny I think you listed off several Mountains with the same names out your way. Rock on !
Very very nice footages. Great job
Thanks! Love the new go pro.
Great video! Here from Pusa' s stream. Happy to have found you. I love up here. So have explored many of these places. Love Sisters!
Oh sweet a fellow Oregon outdoor lover. I hope do try the North Sister this year. There will be a video about it.
I have been to Oregon, haven't seen these mountains. I would totally check it out. Elevation gain is the hardest part for me since we have no big mountains in my state. But looks like a nice hike.
I am sure you saw these mountains at some point, from very far away. Yep elevation is tough. I try to find some nearby uphill hikes to do throughout the year and stay sharp.
Beautiful place TY for representing our Oregon 💖👍
Thanks =)
This is a great video, thanks! I'm about to attempt a summit with some friends this weekend and I'm hoping it's a success!
Awesome! Middle Sister, or something else? Good luck.
What's up Stefan!
that was awesome
Thanks dude. I sure do love the new go pro. You are welcome to join anytime!
That was so Cool Matt! Sure is good to be binging your Ch. a bit. There's never been a single video you've produced that I haven't absolutely loved!. The views of our other Oregon mountains was fantastic and the butterfly's a joy to behold and know their up there. Thanks man ever so much as always! ... M.
You have dug into the archives! Wow 4 years ago. Seems longer to me. The butterflies was so special. So was the rest on the summit, my favorite feeling.
A few years ago I made a middle sister attempt. Camped the night near the PCT and planned to summit the following moring. I got maybe a third of the way up and the thunder storm which was absolutely not forecasted rolled in and forced me off the mountain.
Ah thats crazy. You gotta go again if you haven't. North Sister is next on my list.
Epic climb, bro! The go pro in the glacial melt was a great shot too!
Thank you so much. Your support on Facebook is huge.
Strong hike. Solo time on a summit is something to appreciate. Great view up there. Ballsy glissade! Oh and the butterflies were amazing! Really enjoyed this. Thanks
Thanks dude. Solo time is the best! My last big summit took 20 hours and we had no time to enjoy.
Great video. I've climbed most of the big Oregon peaks, but have always passed over the middle and north sister, looking to do some trail running this weekend, appreciate the report!
Awesome great to hear. North Sister has been a dream of mine for awhile. I am about ready. I like to be over prepared. How cool would a video of doing all 3 sisters in a day be?!
I was up at camp lake back in like 2006, or whenever that big fire came through there... And some poor guy was trying to fix his MSR miniworks water filter right next to the shore.... Well... the spring and back ball inside his filter fell into about 10 inches of crystal clear water... The spring was easy to reach in and recover... But... the little black ball had about the same density as the pumice stones of equal size and color in the lake... when he reached in to grab in, any act of disturbing the water moved the stones and plastic ball before he could grab it... meh, he managed to loose it in the pumice stones in 2 minutes trying to get it at it... I loaned him my filter, but he visibly bummed... he had planned a long trip around all the mountains and being 103-105 degrees, he knew he was screwed. Looking back in retrospect, he could have only retrieved it using a straw...
Thats cool! I always have a life straw as a backup. Or I guess you could use a stove to purify too. We hung at camp lake on this trip but I was too worried about video length and cut it.
Sitting in upstate New York in the middle of winter, dreaming of warm days in good ol’ Oregon.
Nice. This is a special spot for me. Winter isn't so bad either here, if you don't mind rain.
That was likely the end of that pair of pants!
Thank you for showing this!
My uncle's house outside of Prineville looks out on the 3 sister's.
It was nice to see the up-close and personal view of it.
Thanks for the comment. Those pants lasted 2 years after that! I was sitting on a shirt. Prineville is an awesome place to have a home base at.
3:24 Butterfly swarm. Amazing - never seen anything like this.
It was pretty special. Right place at the right time. Many other times being up there I did not see that.
Great video matt!!
Thank you! =)
I love the intro.
Lol, going thru your library today!
Getting all fired up to go to Bohemia mtn. early next month.
Can I borrow your key .....jk, lol.
Awesome. I still want to check out steamboat area south bohemia. Key to ... what?!
@@MattCookOregon Maybe the gate ? ( our family used to run gold star IDK lol)
Some of the most innovative photography I've seen. As I spent a good part of my life doing solo hiking, you did a great job. I live just east of the mountain and notice the North to south direction of the Monarch Butterfly? They are coming from the sub arctic and en route to Mexico. I never ran into so many as you did!
Thank you very much. Though this video is older, I could do way better now! Catching the peak butterfly migration was accidental and very special. Looks like you saw the middle/north, hopefully you got to see the south sister one as well.
I am doing this sunday I am very excited
Niiice. That last part is sketchy. Let me know how it goes. I am still trying to find people crazy enough to do the North.
Matt.Cook.Oregon I will, we are also going to cross the glacier which should be interesting
@@charliegolsan2509 Sweet. That will be a nice short cut. I have when I had a crew with me. Should be fine but be careful! Someone had to get rescued by helecopter at North Sister last month.
Matt.Cook.Oregon well I don’t have much rope experience so I am not going up north anytime soon... but someday
Well done! I hiked this in 1984 and your video takes me back. What a great trip. I am 63 and plan to go next week. I did not see you mention the month you went up. August? September? Thanks again. I did subscribe.
Thank you. I got a video on all major Oregon mountains, except Jeff, thats coming soon. This was August. We haven't been backpacking there since we had kids. A bit long of a backpack when carrying 2 of them. Soon hopefully.
Informative, really appreciate you making this! Nice editing skills, too.
Thank you very much. A bit old 3 years old. Many details I would improve but oh well. Hopefully you checked the other two Three Sisters videos those are good too.
I love the butterflies. I don't know if it's the same species but that happens in the really high peaks of Yellowstone and grizzly bears climb up there To eat the pupa
Stunning photography. You have an excellent eye. I love it. I need to catch up.
You are binge watching me like netflix and I love it. Thank you! Wish I had more videos. The ones I really like are the ones that take months to make.
@@MattCookOregon Netflix? No, doesn't meet the standards. I need to spend more time in your neck of the woods to find peace. You and people similar. Keep rock'n
Love it! 🦋
Thanks Liz! Wow this one is getting old.
solid video, well done
Thank you! 4 years old I bet I could do it way better... Oh well other mountains to cover still!
In all my hiking and 4 mountain treks I’ve never encountered butterflies. That is so cool. How many people can say they were surrounded by butterflies near the top of a mountain like that? Not many
Pretty cool. I have heard a few people see these at middle sister. It must be a big migration spot.
Nice video dude!!! why is there soooo many butterflies? I see that in Mt Hood also.
They all migrate at once and it looks awesome! Couldn't say where they were going. They usually go South for winter though.
Amazing video, great job 👍👍😃
Thank you very much
noooooo someone
disliked you have 116 likes tho so good job
Must be the bigfoot community. They are very mad at me. Oh well! I figure if one person dislikes out of 2000, it is more of a them problem than a me problem.
I missed this one too !!!!! wth
Probably because its ancient!
Nice video brother! I would like to go this weekend in early autumn, what’s What is the name of the point where you started or what is the closest point to park the car?
Thanks. This is an old video and I kinda wish I redid it. Hike was from pole creek trail. You do need a permit in advance, kinda hard to get. I haven't visited this summer cause of the smoke, too unpredictable.
Love it dude! Thanks for sharing. Go Pro?
Thank you. One of my fav mountains. This was a gopro hero 6 black.
@@MattCookOregon Thanks for the reply here. Love the idea of the video.
I appreciate that. I also did a video on the other two sisters if you haven't seen. They are newer than this one.
@@MattCookOregon Nice. I've done south sister myself, but not North. I'm interesting in seeing that one as well.
I love it full watch and enjoyed Awesome video my friend new supporter:)
Thank you!
Matt, have you done a video of Ramona Falls?
I have never been. I dont hang near portland much. Does it have any good views of Hood?
When did you climb? Wouldn't mind trying to climb the same time to grab some beautiful scenes of butterflies!
This video was recorded late august 2018. Hope you see em. The new permit system will prob be in effect next year so gotta plan ahead, pay, jump through hoops or whatever.
@@MattCookOregon Yup know of the permit system. Ill keep that in mind thank you!
@@darrenchromey Good luck! Middle is awesome. Best of both worlds. Not crowded like South but not a death trap like North.
Hi Matt!
I truly appreciate your videos! I had no idea what kind of a hike the North Sister was going to be until I saw your video. I just decided to climb it on a whim.
I climbed NS last weekend, didn’t get the summit, just hit the ridge and that was good enough for me. It’s my first of the 3 Sisters to climb. I can see that the Middle Sister also has that volcanic scree and I’m wondering in comparison to the NS, how much is there?
Thank you very much! North is by far the hardest, only one where you actually have to climb. The middle sister has the most steep exposed scree at the top of the three. South sister is easiest and I would definitely do that one first.
I can’t get the required permit to climb those 2, thus the whimsical idea that I’ll just climb North first. I need more experience on that volcanic rock scree, that stuff is no joke! I’m used to a smoother shale scree. Thank you for all the content, it really helps!!
Hey Matt, I’m planning to climb middle sisters tomorrow. Is the route you took the one featured on AllTrails? “Middle Sister via East Pole Creek Trail #4072” Thanks!!
Maybe too late. But that route looks about right. Pole creek to the right of Prouty point then straight up the ridge. I grew up backpacking right there so I never use a map for sisters.
@@MattCookOregon Just got back a couple hours ago!! It was an amazing experience but it was a bit tedious getting past Collier Glacier and the shale fields. haha
2:45 Were cameras injured in this process?
Nope. Gopro is very sturdy. I always use it underwater!
Is this route easier than going via Obsidian?
Thanks for stopping by Hike Oregon. This is only 3 years old but somehow it is embarrassingly bad. I guess we move on fast with video making. Last time I did obsidian was 20 years ago. I really like all the camping on the east side. Similar mileage and terrain for both trails. They both meet up at Prouty point, so they have the same dangerous final scramble. West side has a bit more snow and less obvious route so small advantage for east side.
@@MattCookOregon Awesome thank you!
5:52 Washington Jefferson Adams. Does New Hampshire have an IP theft case against Washington state?
lol didn't know they had those names too. Mt Washington and Jefferson are in Oregon btw.
wow awesome job on this really love seeing these kind of things i love the sisters there all pretty in there own way im exeited to see the newberry movie and the tallest and hardest thing ive done is mount saint helens
Thank you! Now I dont even have to mention the Newberry movie! Hahaha. Three Sisters are very special to me. Been going since I was a kid. I havent done st Helens. I want to. Permit systems usually keep me away.
How long ago was this ?
About 3 years ago.
Sorry the question was which season? Late summer / early fall?
