Links: Strava. Summit Post. Terminal Gravity Brewing in Enterprise, Oregon.
You climb a bunch of mountains and nobody really cares, but you make one wrong turn and you'll never live it down. We still got the peak and still had a great trip despite my ineptitude adding about 4 miles and 1,000 feet of vert.
The original plan was an out-and-back route that had us staying at Mirror Lake for two nights and summiting Eagle Cap on day 2. The improvised plan called for a loop with one night at Minam Lake and one night at Mirror Lake. Minam Lake was awesome but busy and the bugs weren't bad. Mirror Lake was C-R-A-Z-Y busy, people everywhere and the bugs were awful (kind of expected). Camp sites were not great and offered little shade. Terminal Gravity Brewing was awesome for post hike nourishment .
