Tam McArthur Rim
Incredible views and towering cliffs that will take your breath away. Tam McArthur Rim marks the edge of an intriguing, sparsely vegetated, high volcanic tableland. A favorite day hike for the residents of the Bend and Redmond area, the only sounds you will hear are the wind in the trees and the crunching pumice under your boots, as Tam McArthur Rim is protected by the Three Sisters Wilderness Area.

Tam McArthur Rim can be reached by driving 16 miles south on Forest Road 16, also known as Three Creeks Road, from downtown Sisters, Oregon. The trailhead for the Rim is located at Three Creeks Lake, which has four campgrounds, one of which is a horse camp. The elevation at the trailhead, which is at Three Creek Lake, is 6300 feet, so expect snow to be a possible issue, even in during the summer months. September usually brings the best conditions for visiting the area.
