Oluska Pass

[peak_bgr]

I want to camp in Oluska Pass this summer before it's over and Bushwhack up Seward over to Donaldson and back to camp. The Bushwhack up Seymour another day.

I know it's suppose to be horrible in there, but are there any suggestions other than pack light and small. Should I stay above the drainage on the left or right, or right in the drainage.

Who wants to join us??

There was a trip report over on ADKFORUM earlier this spring. You might want to go check it out.

Spence, you're a year ahead of me.

But be sure and let me know if you decide to do RPR along the North Br. of Slide Brk from Rte. 9.

Neil-I've looked at that route so many times, it's a long one but the only problem is private property at the base of the brook.

whats yout time frame for this? At Sat/Sun or is something during the wek doable? Say the 23 and 24 of August....

I wouldn't be able to do a mid week thing Carol, it would have to be a hike in Friday afternoon, Saturday do Seward and Donaldson. Sunday Seymour and out.

CRB- I cleaned out my mailbox, it's empty now. I would love some details.

I am still working Saturdays until after labor day so weekend trips are out for me until Sept.

Interesting..... I've played there before and I would be interested again, but I can not commit until mid to late September due to my work schedule. If that could work for you and others, let's expand this conversation into a real trip. To help, I have a good route already done to clear the cliffs off Seymour. Camping would be the way to go.

I have alot of time off in Sept, if an indian summer foray into this area takes place.

I hiked Emmons from the Ouluska Pass side up the slide. Base-camped at the Ouluska Brook lean-to on the NPT. If you're considering that route & want info, email me.

 

[peak_bgr]

That will actually be another trip in itself, just as you mention. I'll will be in touch.

Not familiar with the pass. What makes it so horrible in there? Dense? Bugs?
