Overview
A classic backpacking loop takes you up the East Fork Wallowa River to Tenderfoot Pass , traverses to Polaris Pass , and then drops in dozens of notorious switchbacks to the West Fork Wallowa valley. An extension to Frazier Lake takes you up the West Fork Wallowa to an alpine bowl below Cusick Mountain . Those staying more than one night can use Frazier Lake as a base for exploring destinations higher up. These trails are very popular, but the route gives you numerous opportunities to explore less visited destinations. The tread will also be dusty in the summer, and there will be some pack train traffic.
