Hiking

Before you continue your challenging ascend towards the summit of the South Sister, this is a great spot to catch your breath and eat a snack. The glacier-fed pond is a beautiful contrast to the red and grey volcanic rock all around you.

Hiking

As you approach the Lewis Tarn, you may be fooled by the false summit, as you cannot see the true summit on the approach. Many people turn around at this glacial lake rather than hiking the last .8 of a mile to the top as the trail gets quite steep after this point.
