Green Lakes trail
To access the waterfall in the south sister it is best to take off your shoes and wade through the river because the passage through the woods and stones put to that end is not easy. In summer it is better to start early in the morning and put mosquito lotion
It is advisable to have GPS. Refrain from doing it if the weather conditions are not favorable or in wet terrain

I am not a mountain guide, I am not qualified to guide people and this route is only a reflection of my experience when doing it. This information can never be considered sufficient to carry out any of the routes or activities described.
For the practice of adventure sports, hiking, mountaineering, etc ..., adequate physical conditions are required in addition to having adequate technical and material knowledge, as well as knowing the environment, the characteristics of each place and consulting the weather forecasts. Otherwise, if we do not have sufficient knowledge to carry out these activities with guarantees, we must contract the services of a professional or take a training course taught by clubs and federations.
The author is not responsible for the consequences that may arise from the lack of all or part of the above, as well as the misuse of the information that appears here.
I have made this route at my own risk and the assessment of its difficulty may not be shared by other users. Each one who does it under his own. The routes can be the result of joining several trails, signposted or not, so we may not find informative signs or signage during the tour or part of it, so I recommend the use of a GPS device that helps us follow the routes and carry spare batteries. The exposed GPS positions are not necessarily an exact guide of the route since the GPS positioning could have failed or not be exact. The photos that are associated with each waypoint may not correspond to that position exactly. Rains, landslides, etc ... can change the condition of the tracks and trails. Each one carries out this type of activities under his responsibility.
Activities in nature carry certain intrinsic risks. For this reason, it is necessary to highlight some recommendations for the practice of hiking, which allow improving the safety of people. You can encourage this behavior by remembering these simple rules, which are specified in the following:
- Prepare in advance the excursion to be made:
Check the weather forecast and check that the technical characteristics of the route are appropriate for you.
- Clothing and footwear must be suitable for hiking.
- Carry enough food and water, some warm clothes, sunscreen, a hat and a charged mobile phone in your backpack. Canes can also be useful.
- Always walk in company and only on the marked path.
- Always inform family or friends of the route you are going to take.
Remember: traveling through the natural environment carries risks. You walk under your responsibility. Be cautious. If you need it, call 911.

Ruta imprescindible en el entorno de sisters. Para llegar a la casacada hay que mojarse un poco al cruzar el riachuelo asi que es mejor descalzarse (vale la pena)
