Was thinking about doing a 5-6 day trip in the Wallowas in May, and was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for a route. Anyone do the Southeast Wallowas Loop Trail? I read a cool article on here about the trail to Minah and Blue Lake… anyone know what kind of snow conditions I might find in mid-May? Any info would be appreciated.

Aug 19, 2009 at 2:22 pm #1521882Can't… hopefully be in Glacier in August. Planning my second float of the John Day in May, and wanted to double up and do a hike before the float… guess I'll find something at a lower elevation. Thanks for the advice.

If you could arrange a shuttle or hitch, you could go into Red's Horse Ranch and hike back to the highway, or just do an in and out. You'd most likely get lots of solitude. Red's is a cool place to check out. It's no longer an active ranch and is now run by the forest service.
