Thanks, everyone. We just decided to error on the side of caution this trip and took the bear can. It made food protection simple. Though we may look into other lighter bags meant to keep out smaller critters in the future. The squirrels were going crazy around the campsite.

We also changed locations due to weather and headed south to the Sisters Wilderness where we missed more storm activity. Climbed South Sister with amazing views, waterfalls, glacial lakes, green lakes, etc... It was a memorable first PNW backpacking trip in every way!

Looks good / fun. (Dry and clear)

Don't forget to sign up for a PNW 'Fire lookout Tower' camping experience. Family should love it (Available in OR and WA). August during meteor showers is a good time to use Fire Lookouts.

There is a guidebook that might offer hints for the preferred spots. (REI had copies last I heard.
