PHOTO PROVIDED Volunteers have worked for years to make the Peterson Ridge Trail a premier destination for cyclists, hikers, equestrians and snowshoers in Central Oregon. Sisters to celebrate key trail system A celebration of the remarkable trail system in Sisters9 backyard is happen- ing on Saturday, September 21 at Village Green Park. The Peterson Ridge Trail system (PRT), built and maintained through volun- teer effort, has been provid- ing recreational opportunity for equestrians, hikers, dog- walkers, mountain-bikers and most recently snowshoers for more than 20 years. Sisters Trails Alliance (STA) is hosting this celebra- tion, which marks a decade since a major expansion of the system put it on the map as a destination for a variety of users. The celebration fea- tures hikes and mountain- bike rides on the trail sys- tem, activities in the park for everyone, a little history of the PRT, a free lunch and the just-released <Pete9s Ridge Pale Ale,= crafted by Three Creeks Brewing Company. Sign-up is now available for several organized hikes and mountain-bike rides as part of the event. This is a great opportunity to explore some of our close-in trails with folks who know them best. Participants can join Maret Pajutee for a wild and scenic river exploration, starting with the Whychus Creek Overlook trail and a side trip down to one of the most beau- tiful spots on the creek. Maret will talk about watershed his- tory, fire ecology, trail eti- quette, wild and scenic river values and the stewardship of those who help keep the river wild and beautiful. The over- look portion is an easy walk, and the optional hike down to the creek is moderate. Another hike is in the works, with details to be announced later.
