Tam McArthur Rim

Good forOutdoor lovers

The cliffs of Tam McArthur Rim rise above Three Creek Lake at the edge of the Three Sisters Wilderness, topping out at 7,730 feet. The rim is named after Lewis "Tam" McArthur, who served as secretary of the Oregon Geographic Board from 1916 to 1949. The five-mile round-trip trail gains 1,200 feet and stays buried in snow until August most years — plan accordingly.
